Material examined: 4 ♂, (Reg. No. N. 244) Yanam,

Distribution: S.P.Pattinam,( Sivaleela, 2016); Manginapudi - Andhra Pradesh ( Sivaleela, 2016). Elsewhere: Firth of Clyde, West Scotland.
Remarks: This specimen agrees well with the earlier description of Warwick et al., 1998 by its cuticle, Amphid oval. Cephalic setae numbers four 3µm. The spicule size 17 µm and differ in cephalic setae numbers are also treated for distinguishing this species from other species of Dichromadora .
