Rao (1972) : Fig. 4 . Type locality. India , Andhra Pradesh , Visakhapatnam (formerly Waltair), 17°43’30”N 83°20’30”E ; intertidal zone, fine and medium sand, 10–30 cm below surface near half-tide level . Notes. Rao (1972) describes the male antennule as 7-segmented with the sixth segment being partly subdivided. The segmentation pattern is here provisionally reinterpreted as 9-segmented due to segment 4 ( XIII ) having been overlooked and the three segments distal to the geniculated accepted here as fully discrete. Rao’s (1972 : Fig. 4D ) illustration of two aesthetascs originating from the swollen segment 5 must be attributed to an observational error. The species was subsequently recorded from two localities (Konark = Konarak, Puri) in Odisha (formerly Orissa ) in the Bay of Bengal ( Rao 1989 ) .
