Description 487-490
Live specimens of the opisthobranch mollusc, Umbraculum
umbraculum were collected off Tuticorin,
Southeast coast of India.
Earlier literature mentions only the name of this species with photos of the
shell
without any description. This makes it difficult to characterize the species
from another one Tylodina corticalis, which has similar shell shape. This is the
first record of occurrence of live specimens along the Indian coast.
The proximity of occurrence of the species near the Tuticorin Port
area substantiates the possibility of its entry from some other place.
