            <p>Diagnosis (modified from Ng et al., 2009).Carapace (Fig. 1a) smooth, much broader than long, glabrous, dorsal surface sloping downward from posterior to anterior portion; gastric region moderately convex; anterolateral margins acute, convex, produced into 2 lobes posterior to external orbital tooth;lateral margins with 2 feeble indentations and continuing posteriorly as granulate ridges over part of the branchial region; posterior carapace margin wide, thickened, straight; front (Fig. 1a, c) almost as wide as orbital, deflexed downward, concave and weakly bilobed from dorsal view; frontomedial margin distinctly bilobed; lateral angle of front touching inner infraorbital angle, then closing orbit; ex-orbital angle pointed, directed outward. Posteromedian tooth of epistome broadly triangular, lateral margins concave; posterior margin on either side concave.Third maxilliped (Fig.1f) inner margin thick; merus slightly shorter than ischium, outer distal angle slightly broad, rounded; ischium with inner distal angle slightly produced, oblique line of setae present; basal segment of palp not excavated to form spatulate structure. Chelipeds (Fig. 1a, b) of female slender, setose, tips spatulate; fingers (Fig. 1d) longer than palm; P3 longest, P5 shortest, meri of P3 with anterior, dorsal surface granular, never spinulate or serrate; thoracic (Fig. 1b) sternum swollen. Pleon (Fig. 1b, e) subcircular, wider than long, visible dorsally, sutures visible, all somites free, telson triangular. Gonopore large, with outer margin almost straight, operculum small, directed forwards.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The specimens examined in the present study show close agreement with the original description given by Jones and Clayton (1983) and Ng et al. (2009). Manning (1991) while describing a new genus  Nasima Manning, 1991 for  Cleistostoma dotilliformis Alcock, 1900 commented that a new genus should be established for  Paracleistostoma arabicum Jones and Clayton, 1983 . Later, Al-Khayat and Jones (1996) established a new genus,  Manningis for  P. arabicum . The male and female of  M. arabicum look similar in their overall morphology but show sexual dimorphism in relative cheliped size where males bear well developed and robust chelipeds and females bear slender chelipeds with a spatulate tip. </p>
            <p> Manningis closely resembles  Nasima , but can be distinguished from the latter on the basis of the following characters: robust chelipeds in the male, having a quadrangular palm, while the female has a slender cheliped with the palm longer than broad(versus chelipeds similar in the male and female of  Nasima, Al-Khayat and Jones, 1996 ; Ng et al., 2009, fig. 5a–c), carapace average width to length ratio is 1.6–1.7 (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace average width to length ratio is 1.4 in  Nasima, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 6A), carapace transversely oval in outline (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace subquadrate in outline in  Nasima, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 6A), posterior carapace margin comparatively broad (Fig. 1a) (versus posterior carapace margin narrow in  Nasima, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 6A). </p>
            <p> Manningis also resembles  Serenella Manning and Holthuis, 1981 but differs from the latter in the following characters: carapace transversely oval in outline (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace quadrangular in outline in  Serenella, Manning and Holthuis, 1981 , fig. 55a), the lateral angle of front touching infraorbital tooth, thus effectively closing the orbit in  Manningis (Fig.1c) (versus the lateral angle of front not touching inner infraorbital angle in  Serenella ); the posteromedial tooth of the epistome is broadly triangular in  Manningis (Fig.1c)(versus posteromedial tooth is acutely triangular in  Serenella ). </p>
            <p> Manningis can also be differentiated from  Baruna Stebbing, 1904 on the basis of the following characters: carapace transversely oval in outline (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace subquadrangular in outline in  Baruna, Harminto and Ng, 1991 , fig.3e), anterolateral margin granular with two weak lobes (Fig.1a) (versus anterolateral margin divided into three lobes, nearest the orbit being the largest with 6 or 7 marginal granules in  Baruna, Harminto and Ng, 1991 , fig. 3e), third maxilliped merus slightly shorter than ischium (Fig. 1f) (versus merus larger than ischium in  Baruna, Harminto and Ng, 1991 ). </p>
            <p> Manningis can be differentiated from  Camptandrium Stimpson, 1858 on the basis of the following characters: carapace average width to length ratio is 1.6–1.7 (Fig.1a) (versus carapace average width to length ratio is 1.3 in  Camptandrium, Tan and Ng, 1999 , fig. 1A, E), carapace transversely oval in outline (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace hexagonal in outline in  Camptandrium, Tan and Ng, 1999 , fig. 1A, E), anterolateral margin with two weak lobes (Fig. 1a) (versus anterolateral margin with 2 to 3 teeth in  Camptandrium, Tan and Ng, 1999 , fig. 1A, E) </p>
            <p> Manningis can be differentiated from  Opusia Ng, Rahayu and Naser, 2009 on the basis of the following characters:front weakly bilobed from dorsal view (Fig. 1a) (versus front entirely straight from dorsal view in  Opusia, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 2A), frontomedial margin distinctly bilobed (Fig. 1a) (versus frontomedial margin broadly triangular ending in truncate tip in  Opusia, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 2A), eyestalks without setae (Fig. 1a, c) (versus eyestalk with long, plumose setae in  Opusia, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 2A, D), epistome with posteromedian tooth broadly triangular (Fig. 1c) (versus epistome with posteromedian tooth large, long and moderately narrow in  Opusia, Ng et al.,2009 , fig.2D). </p>
            <p> Manningis can be differentiated from  Leptochryseus Al-Khayat and Jones, 1996 on the basis of the following characters: carapace average width to length ratio is 1.6–1.7 (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace average width to length ratio is 1.3 in  Leptochryseus, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 11G), carapace transversely oval in outline (Fig. 1a) (versus carapace quadrangular in outline in  Leptochryseus, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 11G), front weakly bilobed from dorsal view (Fig. 1a) (versus front gently concave from dorsal view in  Leptochryseus, Ng et al., 2009 , fig. 11G). </p>
            <p> Manningis arabicum was originally described from specimens collected from Kuwait (Jones and Clayton, 1983), and later it was recorded from the Persian Gulf – Iran (Naderloo and Türkay, 2012; Naderloo et al., 2013), Iraq (Ng et al., 2009), Saudi Arabia (Apel, 1994), and Qatar (Al-Khayat and Jones, 1996, 1999). Outside the Persian Gulf, it has been recorded from Pakistan (Saher et al., 2017), and now it is also known from mangrove habitat of Jakhau port of Gujarat state, located on the northwestern coast of India. The species is found in the lower intertidal zone of mangrove habitat at Jakhau port where it shares habitat with  Nasima dotilliformis (Alcock, 1900) .  Manningis arabicum is a deposit feeder and is found in small burrows present along the bank of creeks passing through the mangroves. </p>
