Tetranchyroderma hystrix Remane, 1926 View in CoL

Records from India. KERALA: Neendakara—Rajan & Nair (1979).

Habitat. It has been recorded in well sorted sand with grain size ranging mostly from 295 to 592 µm

Remarks. This species has been recorded by Rajan & Nair (1979) from Kerala in their ecological work, along with other gastrotrichs species and meiofauna. There is no drawing and other taxonomic data of this species provided by them or any other author from India. Consequently, we consider this species finding as a doubtful record that require more evidence to prove the presence of this species on the Indian coast.
