Description Specimen of the family Nemipteridae was collected on 21st December 2020 from Thoothukudi Fishing Harbour (TFH), (Lat. 8°43′26.7", Long. 78°56′ 23.12" E; Depth: 250 to 325 m), Southern Coast of Tamil Nadu, India. The morphometric measurements and meristic counts of the specimen were recorded for identification by following the standard methods. The specimen was identified as Parascolopsis baranesi Russell and Golani in Isr J Ecol Evolut 39(4):337–347, 1993, which was distinguishable from all other species of Parascolopsis as it has distinctive prominent red blotch between the 7th and 10th dorsal spines; pinkish to whitish pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins and yellowish caudal fin with reddish base and margin. This study, for the first time, reports P. baranesi from India's East Coast. Currently, the distribution of this species extends to the Gulf of Mannar, India, from the Southwest coast. The present paper also reports and discusses a detailed description of the recorded specimen.
