Abstract
ABSTRACT Two specimens of the mimic octopus Thaumoctopus mimicus were documented for the first time in the Arabian Sea during September 2018 off southern Kerala, India, from 15 m depth. The specimens had dorsal mantle lengths (DML) of 44 and 48 mm. Description and morphological measurements of the specimens are provided. The identity of the specimens was genetically supported by using cytochrome C oxidase I gene sequencing. This finding represents the first record of the species in the Arabian Sea, which signifies an extension of its known geographic distribution range.
期刊介绍：
Malacologia publishes papers on all groups of the Mollusca. Malacologia specializes in publishing long papers and monographic treatments. Complete data are especially appreciated. Papers must be of interest to an international readership. Papers in systematics, ecology, population ecology, genetics, molecular genetics, evolution and phylogenetic treatments are especially welcomed. Also welcomed are letters to the editor involving papers published or issues of import to science of the day.
