The habitats are mainly sandy with scattered rocks and rocky islands. The echinoderm fauna of the coast is poorly known. There are several scattered reports of echinoderms from Karnataka (see Sastry, 2007). However, the report of PatH (1953) includes the marine fauna exclusively of Kamataka and only Temnopleurus sp. of echinoderms from Karwar coast of Karnataka. Recently Sastry (2007) gave an account of Echinodermata reported from the Indian coast including 27 species mainly from the offshore locations along the Kamataka coast collected years back chiefly by the R. I. M. S. Investigator. The collections made during the recent survey of the coast by Dr. M. K. Dev Roy of ZSI along with JGP and SM of us included seven species. The asteroid Asterina burtoni is from the intertidal rocks at St. Mary Island and all the other six species are from the trash collections of the offshore fishing trawlers left on the beach. Of the seven species, the asteroid Luidia hardwicki and the two echinoids were reported earlier from the Kamataka. The other four species are additions to the fauna of the State. Further, the finding extends the known distribution of Comatella stelligera westward into Arabian Sea. Brief description of the material is given under remarks. The distribution along the Indian coast is from Sastry (2007) and elsewhere is mainly from Clark and Rowe (1971). A list of all the echinoderm species known from Karnataka is appended.

The fauna of the region is very distinct and unique due to its location being at the confluence of two of the world's Zoogeographical Regions ie. the Palearctic and the Oriental. High levels of endemism and species richness occur in the area and Palearctic elements dominate in the fauna of the Region (Mani 1974). Based on the collections obtained during a rapid assessment survey of faunal resources conducted in Ladakh from July to September 2008, two species of Torymidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) viz. Megastigmus kashmiricus Sureshan and Ecdamua lehensis Sureshan, were described as new to science, earlier from the area (Sure shan, 2009, Sureshan, 2010). In continuation of the above studies, in the present communication ten species of Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) are being reported from Ladakh. The present collections were made from the north eastern and south eastern parts of the Ladakh, comprising the Ladakh range, Nubra Valley and Changthang valley, using an insect net and aspirator.

While working on the gobioid fishes of Indian Sundarbans (latitude 21 °13' 22°40' N. and longitude 88°03'89°06' E.),the first author came across few specimens of an interesting goby. After careful examination that turned out to be an undescribed species. However, no known genus could accommodate the new species and that warranted erecting a new taxon in generic level. The other gobies of Indian Sundarbans are dealt elsewhere (Chatterjee et al., in press) reporting 44 species and 35 genera from the region. The new genus and the new species have been initially described by the first author (Chatterjee, 1978) in his doctoral thesis and the name is also appeared in MandaI & Nandi (1989) and Talwar et al. (1992), but it is not formally published to be treated as 'available' under the provisions of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

It is a chitinous ribbon bearing many transverse rows of firmly fixed teeth. Each row of teeth on the radula normally repeats precisely the number and shape of the teeth in the rows in front of it and behind. The radular teeth are usually in odd numbers because the row consists of a single tooth centrally placed, which is a central or rachidian teeth, with a series of others on either side broadly known as lateral teeth. The shapes of radular teeth are important for determining the effectiveness of the radula as a tool for feeding (padilla, 1989).","PeriodicalId":415799,"journal":{"name":"Records of the Zoological Survey of India","volume":"178 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115283157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
