Abstract
descriptions with suitable illustrations of two species of palaemonid prawns —
Macrobrachiu;n aernuluin and Palaemon (Palaemon) concinnus are furnished. M. aemulum
has been enjoying an isolated distribution in New Caledonia. It is reported for
the first time from India and is therefore a clear case of discontinuous distribution.
Studies revealed that M. aemulum is distinct from M. nob ilii and the reasons for separating
the two species are discussed. New distributional records for P. (P.) concinnus
in the south-west coast of India are also given.
