    Abstract

    Present study reports the record of occurrence of Palinustus waguensis in the Arabian Sea after a gap of 45 years since its first report in 1965. A single specimen measuring 150 mm (total length) was collected in a Multiday trawler, which was operating south of Mangalore in the Arabian Sea off the south-west coast of India. The present record of this species from the Arabian Sea shows the extended range of occurrence around the peninsular coast of India.
