Abstract The epibenthic euryhaline hydromedusa Vallentinia gabriellae Vannucci Mendes, 1948 is an olindiid species native to tropical Atlantic waters. Here, we describe the cryptic introduction of this in estuary along coast Kerala, southwestern India. This study records existence V. outside waters for first time and documents its geographical range expansion. Our identification was based on a combined morphological DNA barcoding assessment using COI 28S markers. Although noted some...
The taxonomy of two species Indian pilumnid crabs is treated herein. Heteropanope neolaevis Deb, 1985, originally described from northeastern India, retained in the genus Aniptumnus Ng, 2002 as a valid and removed synonymy with quadridentatus (De Man, 1895). A new species, bijoyi, southwestern based on distinguishing features carapace, thoracic sternum, pereopods gonopods. With these developments, five are now recognized.
