New Record of Two Species of False Crabs, Pisidia gordoni (Johnson, 1970) and Porcellanella triloba White, 1851(Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae) from the Northeastern Coast of India

The present paper reports two species of false crab (Anomura: Porcellanidae) for the first time from the coastal waters of West Bengal, as well as from the entire northern east coast of India. A short diagnosis of these two species, Pisidia gordoni (Johnson, 1970) and Porcellanella triloba White, 1851, is incorporated in this present communication with their distribution and habitat. The presence of these two species suggests the paucity of inventorisation and research on this groups of crustacean fauna and there is a need of extensive survey to investigate the proper diversity and distribution of porcelain crabs in the east coast of India.
