Description 850-853
The present study reports occurrences of two sea slugs namely,
moon headed side-gilled slug Euselenops luniceps (Cuvier, 1816)
and spotted foot nudibranch Tayuva lilacina (Gould, 1852) from the
Andaman Sea. Euselenops luniceps (Cuvier, 1816) is a very rare
species previously recorded from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands
without any precise geographical location details, and this study
confirms the occurrence of E. luniceps (Cuvier, 1816) from the
North & Middle Andaman Islands. The spotted foot nudibranch,
T. lilacina (Gould, 1852) is first time recorded from the Andaman
Sea. Previously, these two species were recorded from both the east
and west coasts of mainland India. These species are illustrated,
described, and their distribution details in the Islands are provided.
