Description 284-287
The present study reveals the first documented distribution
record of Desmodema polystictum (Ogilby, 1898) from the
Andaman coast, eastern Indian Ocean. The species is rare in
nature and the knowledge regarding the taxonomy, ecology and
distribution is still limited. Only few records have been come
from the Indian Ocean. The study is based on a single specimen
(34 cm total length) collected from the northeastern region of
Andaman Islands, India. The present record of D. polystictum
from Andaman waters provides greater latitude and depth
distribution than previously acknowledged from the Indian
Exclusive Economic zone. Along with the comparative
morphometric and meristic data from previous reports, description
of present specimen as well as distributional information are also
provided and discussed.
