Parisis indica Thomson & Henderson, 1906

Parisis indica Thomson & Henderson, 1906: 23–24, pl. 4, fig. 4, 5, 8&9 (Andamans).

? Parisis fruticosa Verrill, 1864: 37 (Sulu Sea).

Opinion: This species does occur in the region.

Justification:

Literature analysis: This species is considered as a synonym of P. fruticosa, but it was described as having spindles (up to 0.2 x 0.75 mm) forming a pavement like coenenchyme, which is quite different from P. fruticosa . The description of this species did not include any sclerites figures and it has never been revised, so at present its synonymy with P. fruticosa is uncertain. Rao & Devi (2003) just list the species.
