Two new records of palaemonid prawns from Indian waters
Descriptions with suitable illustrations of two species of palaemonid prawns - Macrobrachium aemulum and Palaemon (Palaemon) concinnus are furnished. M. aemulum has been enjoying an isolated distribution in New Caledonia. It is reported for the first time from India and is therefore a clear case of discontinuous distribution. Studies revealed that M. aemulum is distinct from M. nobilii and the reasons for separating the two species are discussed. New distributional records for P. (P.) concinnus in the south-west coast of India are also given.
