Three species of pegasids viz., Pegasus volitans Linnaeus, P. laternarim Cuvier
and P. draconis Linnaeus have been recorded from the seas around India. Of these,
Pegasus draconis is distinct from the other two by the presence of 8 tail rings
and 2 pits on occiput. P. volitans differs from P. laternarius mainly in having 12
tail rings as against 11 tail rings in the latter. P. natans is considered synonym of
P. volitans (vide De Beaufort, 1962) and hence the larval and juvenile specimens
collected from the Orissa coast (Jones and Pantulu, 1958) and the postlarva collected
from Porto Novo (Krishnamurthy, 1962) should be known under P. volitans.
