Remarks. Cherusius was better known as Jonesius Sankarankutty, 1962 , but Low & Ng (2012) showed that the name was preoccupied by the cestode Jonesius Yamaguti, 1959 . As such, they proposed a replacement name, Cherusius . Cherusius triunguiculatus has been previously reported from Lakshadweep by Rao et al. (1989) and Venkataraman et al. (2004) .
