Description Not Available
The long-tailed sea slug Stylocheilus longicauda was recorded
for the first time from southwest coast of India. A single
specimen measuring a total length of 70.51mm was collected
from a floating bottle, along with bunch of goose-neck
barnacles from Arabian sea off Narakkal, Vypeen Island, Kochi.
Earlier identifications were made based on the morphology of
the animal without resorting to description of radula. This
makes it difficult to differentiate the species from Stylocheilus
striatus which has similar characters. The present description
details the external and radular morphology of Stylocheilus
longicauda.
