Arenopontia subterranea Kunz, 1937 sensu Rao & Ganapati (1969) View in CoL
Sak et al. (2008) remarked that Rao & Ganapati’s (1969) material of A. subterranea from Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh, India) cannot possibly belong to the genus Arenopontia due to the different morphology of the P1, showing a non-prehensile endopod, the absence of the penicillate seta on exp-3, and the presence of two geniculate setae on enp-2. They suggested that this material, and possibly previous records of A. subterranea from Palm Beach in Visakhapatnam ( Rao 1967, 1968; Rao & Ganapati 1966, 1968a, 1968b), represent an as yet undescribed species of the genus Psammoleptastacus .
