(2020)North Atlantic species (Myers & McGrath 1991)Ampelisca tenuicornis Liljeborg, 1856Srinivas et al. (2020)Restricted to the North-Eastern Atlantic Ocean (Dauvin & Bellan-Santiti 1988; Bachelete et al. 2003), the Black Sea (Sezgin et al. 2001) and British and Irish waters (Myers & McGrath 1991)Ampelisca typica (Spence Bate, 1856)Srinivas et al. (2020)Restricted to the North-Eastern Atlantic Ocean including the Mediterranean Sea (Bellan-Santini 1982)Aora typica Krøyer, 1845Raja et al. (2013); Khan et al. (2017)Restricted to South Atlantic Ocean (K.H. Barnard 1965) and New Zealand (Myers & Moore 1983)Apohyale ayeli (J.L. Barnard, 1955)Sivaprakasam (1969a); Surya Rao (1972) both as Hyale ayeli J.L. Barnard, 1955Endemic to Hawaii (Barnard 1970)Apohyale perieri (Lucas, 1846)Raja et al. (2013)Restricted to the North Atlantic Ocean (Costello et al. 2001), Gulf of Mexico (Felder & Camp 2009) and Caribbean Sea (Miloslavich et al. 2010)Apohyale prevostii (H. Milne Edwards, 1830)Srinivas et al. (2020)Restricted to Arctic and North Atlantic Ocean, Amrican and European coastsCaprella madrasana Giles, 1890Giles (1888)Type material housed in the Natural History Museum, London in very poor condition. The presence of tiny pereopods 3 and 4 indicates that it does not belong to Caprella, but to Paracaprella. Probably not a valid species (see Guerra-García et al. 2010)Caprella mendax Mayer, 1903(Thilagavathi et al. 2013)According to McCain & Steinberg (1970) Caprella mendax is a synonym of Caprella equilibra Say, 1818Caprella palkii Giles, 1890Giles (1888)Type material housed in the Natural History Museum, London in very poor condition. Pereonites 6 and 7 are fused indicating that it probably belongs to Metaprotella instead of Caprella. Probably not a valid species (see Guerra-García et al. 2010)Dexamine spinosa (Montagu, 1813)Srinivas et al.

(2013)Restricted to the North Atlantic Ocean (Costello et al. 2001), Bay of Biscay (Bachelet 2003) and Baltic Sea (Kedra 2010)Gammarus tigrinus Sexton, 1939Geetha & Nandan, (2014)Endemic to North America from Labrador to Florida.

(2017)Restricted to the Bay of Biscay (Bachelet et al. 2003), Atlantic Ocean (Costello et al. 2001), and UK (Dauvin 1999)Maera grossimana (Montagu, 1808)Srinivas et al. (2020); Surya Rao (1972)Restricted to Mediterranean-Atlantic (Karaman 1982)Maera hirondellei Chevreux, 1900Surya Rao (1972)Restricted to Mediterranean-Atlantic (Karaman 1982)Maera loveni (Bruzelius, 1859)Srinivas et al. (2020)Restricted to the North Atlantic Ocean (Lincoln 1979)Megamoera dentata (Krøyer, 1842)Satheeshkumar (2011) as Melita dentata (Krøyer, 1842); Kumar & Khan, (2013) as Melita dentata (Krøyer, 1842)Restricted to Arctic Boreal region, North Atlantic and North PacificParacalliope australis (Haswell, 1880)Chilton 91921); Thompson (1879); Panikkar & Aiyar (1937); Surya Rao, (1972) all as Paracalliope fluviatilis (Thompson, 1879)Endemic to Australia (Lowry & Stoddart 2003)Paracaprella barnardi McCain, 1967Sivaprakasam, 1977Sivaprakasam (1977) reported the species Paracaprella alata, P. barnardi and P. pusilla from Indian coasts. He found only a female of P. pusilla from Kerala and several hundred specimens of P. barnardi from hydroid colonies at Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Pondicherry. However, Sivaprakasam’s figures of Paracaprella barnardi (see Fig. 10, Sivaprakasam 1977) show that the specimens figured do not belong to P. barnardi; indeed, they probably belong to P. pusilla by the shape and size of ventrolateral projection of pereonite 2, the shape of gnathopod 2 and the small size of the anterodorsal tubercle on pereonite 2. Therefore, the presence of P. barnardi in India is questionable (see Guerra-García et al. 2010)Parhyale fascigera Stebbing, 1897Surya Rao (1972)Restricted to Caribbean and Eastern PacificPereionotus testudo (Montagu, 1808)Surya Rao (1972)Restricted to Mediterranean-Atlantic (Ruffo 1982)Platorchestia platensis (Krøyer, 1845)K.H. Barnard (1935); Dev Roy et al. (2009); Surya Rao (1962). All as Orchestia platensis Krøyer, 1845; Thilagavathi et al. (2013) as Orchestia platensis Krøyer, 1845Known only from the type locality in Uruguay (Myers & Lowry 2023) and the Eastern North Atlantic and MediterraneanSynchelidium haplocheles (Grube, 1864)Chilton (1921); Surya Rao (1972)Restricted to the North East Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea (Ledoyer 1993)Tritella pilimana Mayer, 1890Sivaprakasam, 1970d; Venkataraman, 2007Known only from North Pacific (Laubitz 1970). Figures of this species are incomplete in Sivaprakasam (1970d) but do not correspond to T. pilimana. They seem to correspond to Paracaprella pusilla, which is common in India.
