Cotor.—Largely faded in the present specimen; there are scattered 
dark spots on the sixth thoracic and first, third, and fourth abdominal 
somites, and an anterior pair of dark spots on the telson. 
Discusston.—The smooth inner margin on the uropodal endopod 
and exopod will serve to distinguish this species from the other species 
of the genus occurring off West Pakistan. 
The illustrations that we give herein have been taken from Manning 
(1967b) because the condition of our single specimen from Astola 
Island is not good enough to be illustrated. 
Distripution.—Western Indian Ocean. It has been recorded from 
Karachi (Kemp, 1913) and from Astola Island (Manning, 1967b). 
Family SQuitLipaE Latreille, 1803 
DriaGnosis.—Propodi of third, fourth, and fifth thoracic appendages 
longer than broad, not beaded or ribbed ventrally (fig. 15c) ; telson with 
sharp median dorsal carina and 4 or more intermediate denticles on 
margin. 
Discussion.—Representatives of four of the genera assigned to 
this family by Manning (1968a) occur off West Pakistan. These genera 
can be distinguished by means of the key given below. 
Representatives of five other genera may also occur off West 
Pakistan; these include: Carinosquilla carinata (Seréne), known from 
the Red Sea (Ingle, 1963) and Madagascar (Manning, 1968b); 
Squilloides gilesi (Kemp), which has been reported from the Persian 
Gulf by Kemp (1913), the Gulf of Oman by Chopra (1939), and the 
Red Sea by Holthuis (1967b); Alima suppler (Wood-Mason), re- 
ported from Bombay by Kemp (1913) and Chhapgar and Sane (1968) ; 
and both Anchisquilla fasciata (de Haan) and Leptosquilla schmeltzii 
(A. Milne-Edwards), recorded from the Red Sea by Holthuis (1967b).
