NO. 8008 CRUSTACHA—TIRMIZI AND MANNING 29 
Clorida Eydoux and Souleyet, 1842 
DiaGnosis.—Hye small, cornea bilobed, rarely broader than dilated 
stalk; ocular scales fused along midline; carapace rounded postero- 
laterally; mandibular palp usually present; 2-4 epipods present; 
dactylus of raptorial claw with 4-5 teeth, upper margin of propodus 
pectinate; lateral processes of fifth, sixth, and seventh thoracic 
somites not bilobed, process of fifth somite usually a slender spine; 
abdomen broad, depressed, carinae usually reduced in number; tel- 
son with movable apices on submedian teeth; basal prolongation of 
uropod with spines on inner margin. 
Typx-species.—Clorida latreillei Eydoux and Souleyet, 1842. 
Discussion.—Five species of Clorida are known to occur in the 
northwestern Indian Ocean and one of these is reported herein from 
West Pakistan. Clorida fallax (Bouvier) has been reported from the 
Red Sea by Holthuis (1967a) and C. latreillet has been recorded from 
the Persian Gulf by Kemp (1913). More recently, Chhapgar and 
Sane (1967) described two new species from Bombay, C. denticauda 
and C. bombayensis. Any of these species could occur off West Pakistan. 
Manning (1968b) gave a key to all the species of Clorida.
