Description 854-858
A menippid crab Myomenippe hardwickii (Gray, 1831) was
obtained in the macrobenthic collections from Hukitola, a
mangrove-associated Bay located south of Bhitarkanika, Odisha,
on the east coast of India. Although the crab was reported from
the coastal waters adjoining Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal,
documentation of the species from Odisha remained elusive until
the current study. Therefore, species diagnosis with suitable
illustrations and ecological details are provided.
