Abstract
- Two species, viz., Euprotomus bulla (Roding, 1798) and Tridentarius dentatus (Linnaeus, 1758) belonging to the family Strombidae are reported for the first time from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The close similarity in the morphological character sets between Euprotomous bulla and Euprotomous aurisdianae may be a reason for overlooking the former species by early workers. We have defined the dissimilarity between both species and have confirmed its occurrence in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In the genus Euprotomous, E. bulla is the second species reported from this region. Tridentarius dentatus has been previously reported from mainland India; however, it is reported from these islands for the first time. There exists a paucity of literature on Bufonaria elegans from Indian waters; however, it has been included in OBIS Indo—Pacific Molluscan Database from the vicinity of these Islands at an earlier date. As no comprehensive literature on its occurrence from Indian waters exists, the current report confirms its occurrence and provides notes on its morphology from this region.
