Description 37-40
For the first time, a Pinna shell associated shrimp Ensiger custos
was documented from the shallow seagrass beds of Palk Bay, India.
The shrimp specimen was identified based on the morphological
characteristics such as chela of the first pereiopod cannulate, absence
of distal teeth on the rostrum, antennal spine minute and dactylus of
the second pereiopod with single large triangular tooth in the proximal
half. The E. custos was found to be closely related to E. custoides. In
the present study, E. custos shrimp was found associated with Pinna
bicolor Gmelin 1971.
