Record of striped paper bubble shell, Hydatina physis (Linnaeus, 1758), from Indian waters. (27th January 2015) - Kumari, Sonia
Abstract : The opisthobranch gastropod Hydatina physis (Linnaeus, 1758) is recorded from the north-west coast of India, off Veraval, Gujarat. A literature review on the distribution of this species revealed that this is the first report of H. physis from Indian waters since 1877 when a specimen collected from Chennai along the east coast of India and deposited in the Australian Museum was later identified to be H. physis . A note on the morphological features of this specimen is detailed in the present paper.
