The present specimen of L. gilesi aligns closely with the description provided by Kemp (1913) and Ghosh (1998) and exhibits some morphological characteristics related to sex. The distal end of propodus of the raptorial claw is distinctly broader. The median carina of the telson is more slender compared to the original description. Additionally, the inner spine of the uropod is serrated. The carapace in our specimen has an intermediate carina, and the mandibular palp consists of three distinct segments. Distribution. Persian Gulf to Bay of Bengal (Kemp 1913; Trivedi et al. 2020). Now from the northeast coast of India at a depth of 119– 123 m.
