Creators

Description

Macrodasys lakshadweepensis Hummon, 2008

= Macrodasys lakshadweepense Hummon, 2008

= Macrodasys indica Rao, 1991.

Records from India. LAKSHASWEEP: Minicoy (Rao, 1991); GENERAL RECORD: Naidu & Rao (2004).

Habitat. Marine intertidal; coarse and medium coralline sands, 5 cm below surface between low and high tide levels.

Distribution. India (Arabian Sea).

Remarks. Hummon (2008) named this species as Macrodasys lakshadweepense because the original name Macrodasys indica Rao, 1991 did not comply with the nomenclature rules. However, once corrected to M. indicus, it became a junior primary homonym of M. indicus Govindankutty & Nair, 1969. Finally, Hummon & Todaro (2010) corrected the species name from M. lakshadweepense to M. lakshadweepensis according to the genus gender.
