Panulirus brunneiflagellum is a species of spiny lobster that lives around the Ogasawara Group (Bonin Islands) of southern Japan.

The Ogasawara Group, or Bonin Islands, are an outlying archipelago of Japan in the western Pacific Ocean, on the Izu–Bonin–Mariana Arc.

[2] In 2005, Ray W. George assigned P. brunneiflagellum to an Indo-Pacific group within the genus Panulirus, which also contained P. japonicus, P. cygnus, P. marginatus and P. pascuensis.

[5] Panulirus brunneiflagellum lives in clear, tropical waters at depths of up to 90 metres (300 ft), where temperatures are in the range 19–29 °C (66–84 °F).

The fishery uses rectangular steel lobster traps covered in plastic mesh, roughly 1.0 × 0.5 × 0.5 metres in size.
