The present paper deals with the distributional range extension of Murex indicus Houart in Breviora 521:1–14 2011, to the eastern coast of India, Bay of Bengal. It has been previously reported from the Arabian Sea, off Gujarat coast and Maharashtra (type localities). The present specimens were collected from Kalingapatnam of Andhra Pradesh. The identification was confirmed after critical verification of protoconch, teleoconch, shell characters and spiral cords. This paper also contains a checklist and distribution of the genus Murex within Indian water.
