| Description |
Acanthonyx euryseroche has been reported for the first time from the Arabian Sea and thus, the genus Acanthonyx from India now comprises two species. The poor abundance and restricted occurrence in the harbour regions are suggestive of the bioinvasive nature of A. euryseroche. As the entry of an alien species might be harmful to the native biota, the occurrence of A. euryseroche warrants constant monitoring of its population size and its further distribution to other regions, particularly the Arabian Sea
