1863F10FFFD4FF80FF4EE2F5FD2CFCC6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Carapace glabrous, shiny, pubescent at base of adrostral carina. Rostrum straight with upward anterior edge, reaching middle of eye. Rostrum with 7 dorsal teeth, including epigastic. Postrostral carina faintly present up to middle of carapace, connecting with top of cervical sulcus. Carapace with orbital angle, and smaller spines at antennal, hepatic, and branchiostegal regions; larger spine at supraorbital region. Cervical sulcus deep, almost reaching dorsum of pterygostomian region, bearing shallow depression at ventral side of pterygostomian angle; well-defined hepatic sulcus extending posteriorly. Inner antennular flagellum shorter than upper flagellum; 57 segmented; tapering. Dorsal side of 1 st and 2 nd abdominal segments rounded, without carination; 3 rd to 6 th segments dorsally carinated, with sharp spine posteriorly. Telson shorter than uropodal endopod; with pair of immovable spines. Petasma with dorsomedian and dorsolateral lobules, bearing long spinules; ventrolateral lobule with single large tooth; lateral accessory lobule with 10 or 11 spinules.	en	Purushothaman, P., Chakraborty, Rekha Devi, Maheswarudu, G., Kuberan, G.

1863F10FFFD4FF80FF4EE2F5FD2CFCC6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Crosnier (1978) described the key characters for the identification of S. rathbuni and its distinguishing characters from S. algoensis and S. waltairensis. The carapace, antennular flagella, and petasma are important diagnostic parts used in the identification of S. rathbuni. The present specimens are considerably larger than those described by Crosnier (1978) (CL 9.5 – 10.5 mm), but smaller than those studied by Kensley et al. (1987) (CL 17.5 – 25.8 mm) and similar to those reported by Dall (1999) (CL 12 – 15 mm).	en	Purushothaman, P., Chakraborty, Rekha Devi, Maheswarudu, G., Kuberan, G.

1863F10FFFD5FF82FF4EE11CFE2BF804.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Carapace glabrous with few bristles on base of adrostral carina. Rostrum straight with upward anterior edge, slightly exceeding end of cornea; dorsally with 6 teeth, including epigastric; ventrally convex, with fine setae. Postrostral carina continuing to origin of cervical sulcus. Orbital angle present and smaller spines at the antennal, hepatic, and branchiostegal regions; larger spine at supraorbital region. Cervical sulcus deep, sinuous, almost reaching dorsum, ending with hepatic spine, well-defined hepatic sulcus extending posteriorly. Orbito-antennal sulcus faint, shallow. Outer antennular flagellum longer than inner flagellum; with 71 – 75 segments; tapering. Abdominal segments smooth, shiny, without carination on first segment, 2 nd faintly carinated. Telson longer than uropodal endopod, with a pair of fixed spines, terminating sharply. Thelycum between 4 th and 5 th pereopod with 2 pairs of tubercles, middle 2 large, flanked by smaller ones; at 4 th pereopod, a trapezoidal plate; a triangular depression (between 5 th pereopod) with smooth surface. Petasma with ventromedial, dorsolateral and ventral lobules pectinated distally with minute bristles. Dorsomedial lobules not joined distally, with comb-like, tightly arranged, strong bristles and dorsolateral lobule; 47 – 53 bristles.	en	Purushothaman, P., Chakraborty, Rekha Devi, Maheswarudu, G., Kuberan, G.

1863F10FFFD5FF82FF4EE11CFE2BF804.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on Crosnier (1994), the Indian specimens of S. barunajaya are similar to the holotype with slight variation in antennal flagella. In the present study, antennal flagella segmented with 67 – 75 articles, the length of the lower flagella found always lesser than to upper flagella. However, upper flagellar length was slightly longer (1.07 times to carapace length) in comparison with the holotype. Dorsal carina of the 2 nd abdominal segment appeared faint. These specimens showed high similarity to S. faxoni with few differences in the rostral spines (5 + 1), thelycum boss (2 pairs) and antennal flagella (Dall 1999).	en	Purushothaman, P., Chakraborty, Rekha Devi, Maheswarudu, G., Kuberan, G.
