Abstract

The Eschmeyer's scorpionfish, Rhinopias eschmeyeri is reported for the first time from the Indian waters. Two specimens of this species were collected from trawlers operated in Gulf of Mannar, southeast coast of India, during November, 2009. Comparison of morphometric and other characters with the holotype and other reported specimens confirm the identification.
