Deskripsi
In this study, Armina babai (Tchang-Si, 1934) belonging to the family Arminidae collected off the Southeast coast of India at depths of 180–250 m in the muddy bottom is reported for the first time in India. The number of notal ridges, the position of the genital papilla, the size and the shape of radular teeth, and the features of the masticatory process are the main differences to the congeneric species occurring in the South Indian coast.
