Three Tonkin numbfish, Narcine prodorsalis were caught off the coast of Bangladesh in April 2018. Amongst these three specimens, one was morphometrically measured, photographed and transported to be persevered and catalogued at the zoological museum in the University of Dhaka. The specimens were morphologically identified using taxonomic keys and DNA samples (fin clips) have been collected for further studies. These specimens represent the first record of Narcine prodorsalis in Bangladesh waters and extend its distribution range. This is the first western most confirmed record of this species from its previously designated range in the western Pacific and Eastern Indian ocean. This contemporary record includes Bay of Bengal within its current distribution range. Bangladesh J. Zool. 46(2): 147-154, 2018

Key Characters

Abstract Charybdis (Archias) hongkongensis Shen, 1934 was collected from the Indian coast of the Bay of Bengal and this is the first record from Indian waters. The distinct key characters of this species are: a relatively more produced last antero-lateral tooth, strongly convergent postero-lateral margins, and a smooth, rounded, reduced apex of the male first gonopod. This is the ninth member of Charybdis (Archias) Alcock, 1899 from Indian waters. The species is diagnosed and figured herein.
