Abstract.We report the presence of 3 species of brachyuran crabs, Opusia indica (Alcock, 1900), Nasima dotilliformis (Alcock, 1900) and Leptochryseus kuwaitensis (Jones & Clayton, 1983) (family Camptandriidae), for the first time from Indian waters. The species are so far reported from Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Records of these species in Indian waters extend their distribution range in the northern Indian Ocean. This study was carried out as part of an ongoing study on the brachyuran crab fauna of Gujarat state, India. The specimens were collected from coastal areas of Lakhpat (23°50′01″ N, 068°46′26″ E) and Jakhau (23°13′26″ N, 068°37′37″ E) (Fig. 1) located on the coast of northern Arabian Sea in the Gulf of Kachchh, Gujarat, and consisting of mangrove mudflat habitats. Specimens were collected by hand during low tide. Specimens were washed properly to remove sediment and photographed in the field using a Canon 1000D with 18-55 mm lens. Specimens were preserved in 70% alcohol and deposited in the Zoology Museum of the Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Specimen catalogue numbers are provided in the species accounts below. Maximum carapace width (CW) and length (CL) were measured for each specimen. The abbreviation G1 is used for male first left gonopod and coll. for specimen collector.

Background: Significant works have been done on the diversity and distribution of porcellanids crabs in Indian coasts. The present work reports and describe porcelain crabs from the western coast of India. Result: Five species of porcelain crabs in three genera are reported from the western coast of India. Morphological descriptions with measurement of the reported species with key characters and distribution status are given. Conclusion: Petrolisthes boscii (Audouin, 1826), P. lamarckii (Leach, 1820), and P. rufescens (Heller, 1861) are commonly distributed along the studied coast. Enosteoides ornatus (Stimpson, 1858) and Pachycheles tomentosus (Henderson, 1893) sparsely occur and are firstly reported from the Gujarat coast.

“…Th is genus, like other members of its family, occupies variety of habitats including depressions under stones, spaces in worm tubes, cavities of sponges, and excavations in coral reefs (Rodríguez et al, 2005). Several species of Petrolisthes are most common and widely distributed along the Range expansion of P. virgatus in the Indian Ocean Nauplius, 24: e2016027 Iranian coasts of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman (Naderloo and Türkay, 2012;Naderloo et al, 2013;2015). Naderloo et al (2013) recorded 11 species of Porcellanidae from the Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf, of which three belonged to Petrolisthes.…”
