Paracis spinosa ( Thomson & Henderson, 1906) View in CoL

Acis spinosa Thomson & Henderson, 1906: 77–78 , pl. 5, fig. 11 (Andamans).

Opinion: This species does occur in the region, but its true identity is unknown.

Justification:

Literature analysis: Originally described as Acis spinosa , only a branch fragment was illustrated so the species is essentially unidentifiable. Kükenthal (1924) reassigned the species to the genus Paracis . Rao & Devi (2003) just listed it under the original name.
