First Time

The ascidian fauna at Campbell Bay, Bquary Beach and Laxman Beach, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, was surveyed. A total of six species –Botrylloides leachi, Botrylloides pizoni, Clavelina picta, Clavelina robusta, Phallusia julineaandPolycarpa pigmentate– were newly recorded in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the generaClavelinawas recorded for the first time in India. It is likely that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands provide a better environment for the growth of ascidians and this area in particular is populated by a greater variety of these ascidians than any of the other areas of the islands. This paper details their morphological and taxonomical features.

The male and female of Orthetrum erythronigrum sp. nov. are described from Great Nicobar Island and are believed to be endemic to the Nicobar Islands archipelago (holotype ♂, India, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Great Nicobar Island, Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve, N 6.99067, E 93.871363; 01-xii-2018; deposited in ZSI, SRC, Chennai, India). The male of this new species is easily distinguished from other known Orthetrum species by its black abdomen with contrasting crimson belly. Female is distinguished by its large size, the black non-metallic head, black thorax and the red abdomen with a distinct black pattern. Based on field observations and photographs, notes on the life colouration of the mature male and information on the distribution and habitat of this Great Nicobar endemic are provided.
