Description
Remark
Found along Tamil Nadu coast and Laccadives
Occurrence
native
Distribution
Western Indian Ocean: restricted to the Red Sea and the tropical western Indian Ocean to South Africa. Apparently misidentified with closely related species in the northern and eastern Indian Ocean and western Pacific (however, Ref. 5978 seems to present a reliable record from western Indonesia).
