Material examined: 1♂, (Reg. No. N. 438), Bheemunipatinam, 1.iv.2016, Coll. G. Sivaleela.

Distribution: Continental shelf of Andhra ( Annapurna et al., 2017); Continental shelf of southwestern Bay of Bengal ( Ansari et al., 2012). Elsewhere: Exe estuary, South-West England, North- East Ireland.

Remarks: This species resembles the earlier description of Warwick et al. (1998) by its spicular structure, the distinct conico-cylindrical tail with terminal setae justifies the species Daptonema setifer .
