Abstract

Aphantolana wandoor sp. nov. is described from intertidal algae in South Andaman, Andaman Islands. Aphantolana wandoor sp. nov. is characterized by the uropodal exopod posterolateral margin with a slight concavity, mesial margin evenly convex with 2 robust setae, pleotelson posterolateral lateral margin concave, weakly sinuate.
