Title A new species of Metapenaeus (Decapoda, Penaeidae)
 
Creator George, M J
Rao, P Vedavyasa
 
Subject Decapods
 
Description Whilst examining a collection of prawns from the Gulf of Kutch area, three specimens
showed clear diflFerences from others. A closer study of the important generic
characters made it difficult to assign these specimens to any of the species of Metapenaeus
Wood-Mason and Alcock described so far, and hence they are reported
here as species new to science.
