Abstract
Two species of Leucosiid crabs of the genus Arcania were recorded from the Mangaluru coast of Karnataka. Arcania gracilis (Henderson, 1893) and Arcania cornuta, (MacGilchrist, 1905) have been reported all along the east coast and along Kerala in the west coast of India. This study reports the distribution of A. gracilis and A. cornuta along the Karnataka coast for the first time. The external characters were photographed and examined, and their taxonomic characteristics and distribution details are described briefly.
