ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS : Butler Bay, east point in Car Nicobar—Rao (1975, 1980b, 1993); GENERAL RECORD: Naidu & Rao (2004) . Habitat. Marine, intertidal; medium sand, 10 cm below surface near mid-water level. Distribution. Malaysia and India Remarks. There seems to be a discrepancy between the Indian and the Malaysian specimens with regard the arrangement of the tubes on the caudal pedicles. The Indian specimens are reported to have the medial tubes of the distal end in a ventral position while in the Malaysian gastrotrichs they are dorsal. Since in other Thaumastodermatidae these tubes, if present, are in a dorsal position, the description of Indian specimens should be considered incorrect in this respect.
