Panulirus Cygnus, or the rock lobster, was previously classified under several taxonomic arrangements, the first description was published in 1962. The author, Ray George, recognized the similarities to other species of Panulirus, such as Panulirus longipes, but regarded the number of distinctions qualified this as a separate species.
Lobsters are primarily classified into two main types: the American lobster (Homarus americanus) and the European lobster (Homarus gammarus). Additionally, there are various species of spiny lobsters, such as the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) and the California spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus), which differ from true lobsters in lacking large pincers. Each type has unique physical characteristics and habitats, with American lobsters typically found in the North Atlantic and spiny lobsters more common in warmer waters.
The scientific name for the Bangladeshi lobster, commonly referred to as the Indian lobster, is Panulirus homarus. This species is found in the coastal waters of Bangladesh and other regions of the Indian Ocean. It is known for its distinctive large size and is a popular seafood choice in local cuisine.

It depends which lobster you are talking about. The typical American and Canadian lobster, with large claws, is Homarus americanus. There are also spiny lobsters which occur in tropical waters around the world. In California and the Carribean, it is likely a member of the genus Panulirus. But in other parts of world, it could be Jasus or Palinurus, or any of 5 other genera.
