Crasiella indica Rao, 1981

Records from India. ODISHA (Orissa): Gopalpur—Rao (1981b); WEST BENGAL: South 24 Parganas—Sanyal et al. (2012); GENERAL RECORD: Naidu & Rao (2004).

Habitat. Marine, Intertidal, subtidal; clean medium sand, 5 cm below surface.

Distribution. India (Bay of Bengal).

Remarks. In the description, the term “pharyngeal knobs” has been used to denote the pharyngeal pores. This may cause confusion as the term pharyngeal knobs has also been used for the drumstick-like sensorial organs present in Pleurodasys helgolandicus . Furthermore, nomenclature and functional role of the accessory reproductive organs as indicated in the original description should be revised in light of the recent literature (e.g., Kieneke & Schmidt-Rhaesa 2015).
