“…Remarks. While clearly resembling Doriopsis granulosa (Pease, 1860) by an overall yellow dorsum, six gill leaves arranged horizontally in an almost transverse line, and numerous low, rounded tubercles, it bears differences from other descriptions (see Baba and Hamatani 1961;Valdés 2002;Apte and Bhave 2014). These include the absence of any brown spots along the dorsum and rhinophores that are not uniformly yellow-orange but instead have translucent stalks and abruptly transition from a yellow base to a white apex, separated by a thin brown median line.…”

Improved access to field survey infrastructure throughout South-East Asia has allowed for a greater intensity of biodiversity surveys than ever before. The rocky bottoms and coral reef habitats across the region have been shown to support some of the highest sea slug biodiversity on the planet, with ever increasing records. During the past ten years, intensive SCUBA surveys have been carried out at Koh Tao, in the Gulf of Thailand, which have yielded remarkable findings in sea slug biology and ecology. In this work a brief history of sea slug biodiversity research from Thailand is covered and a complete inventory of sea slugs from Koh Tao, Gulf of Thailand is provided. This inventory is based on surveys from 2012 to 2020, with previously unreported findings since 2016. Habitat specificity and species-specific ecology are reported where available with a focused comparison of coral reef habitats and deeper soft-sediment habitats. The findings contribute 90 new species records for Thai waters (92 for the Gulf of Thailand) and report a remarkable consistency in the proportional diversity found to be exclusive to one habitat type or another. Additionally, taxonomic remarks are provided for species documented from Koh Tao that have not been discussed in past literature from Thailand, and a summary of previous records in the Indo-West Pacific is given.

“…A recent database prepared by KSCSTE (2013) shows that the molluscan diversity in Lakshadweep includes 469 species. Surveys on molluscan fauna of Lakshadweep by various authors in the last few decades are an indication of not having fully explored the molluscan diversity of the island and therefore the number of molluscan species is probably underestimated (Namboodiri & Sivadas 1979;Appukuttan et al 1989;Apte 1998Apte , 2009Apte , 2012aApte ,b, 2014Ramakrishna & Dey 2010;Rao 2003;Apte et al , 2012Prabhakaran et al 2012;Susan et al 2012;Venkataraman et al 2012;Aditi & Apte 2013;Ravinesh et al 2013;Vishal & Apte 2013;Apte & Vishal 2014).…”

On the molluscan fauna of Lakshadweep included in various schedules of Wildlife (Protection) Act of India

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:Out of the 24 species of marine molluscs included in Schedule I and IV of the Wildlife (Protection) Act (WPA) of India, 19 species were recorded from the coastal waters of Lakshadweep. A recent survey conducted by the authors recorded the presence of 14 scheduled molluscs in Lakshadweep. Scheduled species such as Placuna placenta (recorded from Kavaratti) and Tudicla spirillus (recorded from Kalpeni) are new records from Lakshadweep. The paper provides details for taxonomic identification of scheduled molluscs and discusses strategies for conservation of scheduled molluscs of Lakshadweep.
