During the course of our regular faunistic surveys along Indian coast we have made collections from Gujarat, Sundarbans in West Bengal and from Kakinada Bay in Andhra Pradesh. After identification of the mollusc collections from these localities we have found that two gastropods species, namely Salinator fragilis (Lamarck), and Pseudonoba columen (Melvill) are new records. The first mentioned is a new record from India and the later is a new record for Gujarat as well as from India. This is a significant finding and we give below a systematic description of the two species.

Abstract


During the course of our regular faunistic surveys along Indian coast we have made collections from Gujarat, Sundarbans in West Bengal and from Kakinada Bay in Andhra Pradesh. After identification of the mollusc collections from these localities we have found that two gastropods species, namely Salinator fragilis (Lamarck), and Pseudonoba columen (Melvill) are new records. The first mentioned is a new record from India and the later is a new record for Gujarat as well as from India. This is a significant finding and we give below a systematic description of the two species.
