Two species of the mud shrimp genus Upogebia Leach, 1814 (Gebiidea: Upogebiidae) are recorded from India for the first time based on material from Tamil Nadu: U. hexaceras (Ortmann, 1894) and U. nithyanandan (Sakai, Türkay Al Aidaroos, 2015). Both were found in burrows in an unidentified sponge. Upogebia nithyanandan is resurrected as a valid species from the synonymy of U. balmaorum Ngoc-Ho, 1990, recently proposed by Dworschak Poore (2018). The two species are fully described and illustrated on the basis of the newly collected specimens, and diagnostic characters for species recognition are discussed.
基于来自泰米尔纳德邦的材料,首次在印度记录到泥虾属(Upogebia Leach,1814)(鼓虾总科:泥虾科)的两个物种:六角泥虾(U. hexaceras)(奥尔特曼,1894年)和尼氏泥虾(U. nithyanandan)(酒井、蒂尔凯·艾尔·艾达罗斯,2015年)。两者均发现于一种未鉴定海绵的洞穴中。尼氏泥虾从1990年吴玉诗描述的巴尔马泥虾(U. balmaorum)的同物异名中恢复为有效物种,这是最近由德沃夏克和普尔(2018年)提出的。基于新采集的标本对这两个物种进行了完整描述和绘图,并讨论了用于物种识别的鉴别特征。
