Fig. 9

Lateral view figures of all caprellid species reported so far in Indian waters. All drawings are adult males except for Metaprotella problematica and Pseudocaprellina pambanensis, which are females. Arrows indicate some of the most important characters to distinguish the species without dissection. Hemiaegina minuta, M. problematica, M. falcimanus, P. alata, P. bidentata and P. pambanensis have been redrawn from Sivaprakasam (1977), H. krishnaensis from Swarupa and Radhakrishna (1983) and M. haswelliana f. taprobanica from Mayer (1890).
