Pitatus is an ancient lunar impact crater located at the southern edge of Mare Nubium. Joined to the northwest rim is the crater Hesiodus and the two are joined by a narrow cleft. To the south lie the attached Wurzelbauer and Gauricus.The complex wall of Pitatus is heavily worn and has been encroached by lava flows. The rim is lowest to the north where the lava almost joins the Mare Nubium. Near the middle is a low central peak that is offset to the northwest of center.
