Description Three specimens of apogonids were collected
from Tuticorin Fishing Harbour, off Tuticorin, Gulf of
Mannar, southeast coast of India during November 2012
(two specimens) and December 2014 (one specimen). The
morphometric and meristic characters of the recorded
specimens are described and discussed. Based on the key
diagnostic characters like presence of seven anal-fin rays,
villiform teeth and block spots on body these specimens
were identified as Holapogon maximus (Boulenger, 1888).
However, these deep dwelling specimens known previously
from Gulf of Oman, Andaman Islands and in the
Arabian Sea along the west coast of India but the present
record shows the extension of distribution to Gulf of
Mannar, southeast coast of India.
