  • English

    This paper records two deep water brachyuran species, Naxioides robillardi (Miers, 1882) (Epialtidae) and Lupocyclus tugelae Barnard, 1950 (Portunidae) from India. The spider crab N. robillardi and the swimming crab L. tugelae both have wide distributions, occurring from East Africa to Japan and Australia. The present study records the occurrence of these two species for the first time from India, and discusses their taxonomy and diagnostic characters.
