Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2015
Abstract
The new occurrence of a mytilid, Modiolus barbatus is recorded for the first time in Kerala based on a single specimen associated with the seaweed, Ulva lactuca in the intertidal zones of the Vizhinjam coast. The distributional range of this species is extended from the south-eastern coast to the south-western coast of India. Currently, seven species of the genus Modiolus, including Modiolus barbatus, are recognized from the Indian coast.
