| Summary: | Macrodasys indicus Govindankutty & Nair, 1969 Records from India. KERALA: Azhikode, Fort Kochi (Cochin)— Govindankutty & Nair (1969, 1972), Nair & Govindankutty (1972); GENERAL RECORD: Naidu & Rao (2004). Habitat. Intertidal, marine; medium sand near mid-tide level. Remarks. Hummon & Todaro (2010) commented—“The proper name is M. indicus , as in the text, and not M. idicus , as occurs in Fig. 7; this is as determined by the first reviser, Hummon, 2008b:127 (ICZN 24.2.2)”. We agree with Hummon & Todaro (2010) to consider this taxon to be species inquirenda as the available morphological information is insufficient for a reliable identification of the Indian specimens. Indeed as it is sketched the specimens look more like a Mesodasys than a Macrodasys . : Published as part of Chatterjee, Tapas, Priyalakshmi, Geetha & Todaro, M.
