Abstract
The Facetotecta
is among the lesser known groups in the world ocean. The present study recorded
two types of Facetotecta in the Andaman Sea, off Andaman Islands. These two
types of Facetotecta were observed during the period of August 2015, July 2016
and October 2017 and identified as Type I Hansenocaris
corvinae and Type IX Hansenocaris
leucadea. However, the cursory analysis suggested that the Type IX is a new
type of Facetotecta and named it as Type XII Hansenocaris portblairenae sp. (nov). This finding suggests that
this Facetotecta observation is the first report in the Andaman Sea, as well as
in the Indian Ocean Region.
