Title Three new records of Stomatopoda (Crustacea)
from the seas around India
 
Creator Shanbhogue, S L
 
Subject Crustacean Fisheries
 
Description Our knowledge of stomatopods from the seas around India is fairly extensive. The
monograph of Kemp (1913) is a landmark in the history of the group from the
region. Subsequent contributions by Kemp and Chopra (1921), Chopra (1934),
Chopra (1939) and Alikunhi (1967) have enriched our knowledge of the group.
While making collections for a detailed study of the group, the following three
species which are new records to the seas around India Lysiosquilla tredecimdentata
Holthuis (Family Lysiosquillidae) and Alima hyalina Leach, and CarinosquUla
lirata (Kemp and Chopra) (Family Squillidae)were collected. The diagnostic characters
of each species and detailed measurements of some specimens are given. Attention
is also drawn to differences observed from earlier descriptions. Data on the
total length (TL) measured from the tip of the rostrum to the tip of the submedian
spines of the telson; the carapace length (CL) exclusive of rostrum ; the abdominal
width measured at the 5th somite and the corneal index (CI) obtained by dividing
the carapace length by the corneal width and multiplying it by 100 are given.
