Abstract The present study reports the first zoogeographical record of squat lobster Munidopsis lauensis Baba and de Saint Laurent, 1992 from a cold-seep site in Krishna-Godavari Basin (Bay Bengal), Northern Indian Ocean. Molecular analysis partial mitochondrial gene coding for cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI mtDNA), 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) validated its identity. observation extends geographical distribution to Additionally, molecular barcodes (COI) were generated scobina Alcock,...
An annotated checklist of the anomuran crustaceans recorded from Indian waters is compiled available published literature. A total 231 species belonging to 58 genera, 15 families and five superfamilies are listed. The highest number was seen in Andaman Nicobar Islands Ecoregion (114 species, 37 14 families), followed by South India (111 41 West (93 36 Eastern (76 29 12 Maldives (34 10 families) Northern Bay Bengal (22 nine families). Notes on questionable identifications records some crabs...
Seven species of galatheoid crustaceans, including five new species, are reported from the southeastern Arabian Sea, southwestern Bay Bengal, and western Andaman India, based on material collected 56 to 113 m depths. Distinctions between (Galathea bharata sp. nov., G. kalingasagara quadrangularis Nanogalathea longispina Sadayoshia brevirostrum nov.) their morphological close congeners given in detail. The genus Tirmizi & Javed, 1980 is rediagnosed include N. nov. Trapezionida latior...
Two new species of the galatheid squat lobster genus Galathea Fabricius, 1793 are described from Andaman Sea, India. nicobarica sp. nov. closely resembles G. rubromaculata Miyake & Baba, 1967a, but differs in armature branchial carapace margin and shape dactylus third maxilliped. tirmiziae is allied to consobrina De Man, 1902 tagaro Macpherson Robainas-Barcia, 2015, distinguished by merus maxilliped lacking a disto-extensor spine proportionally more slender second pereopod.
Abstract Seven species of chirostyloid and galatheoid crustaceans, including three new species, are reported from the eastern Arabian Sea Bay Bengal, India, based on material depths ranging 32–1420 metres. Trapezionida samudrika sp. nov. appears close to T. munin (Komai, 2011), but is distinguished by shape carapace fourth thoracic sternite, armature third maxilliped merus, length cheliped, ambulatory legs. Paramunida travancorica differs its closest P. bineeshi Macpherson, Chan, Kumar &...
ABSTRACTABSTRACTWe report four squat lobster species of the genera Raymunida Macpherson and Machordom, 2000 (Munididae) Munidopsis Whiteaves, 1874 (Munidopsidae) from Indian Exclusive Economic Zone. The genus is recorded for first time waters, including a new R. shraddhanandi sp. nov. vittata Macpherson, 2009 based on material Andaman Sea. differs its closest congener formasanus Lin, Chan Chu, 2004 in armatures anterior branchial carapace region, antennal peduncle third maxilliped merus,...
Deep-water king crabs of the genus Paralomis White, 1856 collected during three cruises Fishery Oceanographic Research Vessel Sagar Sampada in western Bay Bengal (528777 m depths), one cruise eastern off Great Nicobar Island (337 depth), and four southeastern Arabian Sea (3151245 m) were identified. They are referred to ceres Macpherson, 1989, recorded for first time from Indian waters P. indica Alcock Anderson, 1899, reported Andaman Sea. In addition, this study reports morphological...
Abstract The present study reports the rarely recorded species of family Galatheidae, Allomunida magnicheles Baba 1988, based on material from Indian Exclusive Economic Zone. specimens attached to an unidentified soft coral genus Dendronephthya Kükenthal, 1905, were collected using a Smith McIntyre grab depth 52 m in southwestern Bay Bengal. was known only Sulu Sea and Tañon Strait, Philippines; greatly extend distribution range westwards Ocean. Morphological description intraspecific...
