Parapenaeopsis Indica, Sp. Nov. (decapoda, Penaeidae) From the Indian Waters
Year: 1969
Type: article
Abstract: Parapenaeopsis indica, a species new to science, is described based on material \ncollected from Kakinada along the east coast of India. The features that distinguish P. \nindica from the closely related species are discussed. \nIn August 1968, some specimens of what appeared to be young Parapenaeopsis \nsculptilis were collected from the Kakinada fish market. Subsequently similar \nspecimens were collected from the Kakinada canal, Kakinada Bay and from the nearshore \nwaters at Godavary Point. On closer examination they were found to differ \nfrom all known species of Parapenaeopsis and hence they are described here in detail \nas a species new to science.
