• Resumen

  • The present study reports the taxonomic notes on Homolax megalops (Alcock 1894) off Kollam, Southeastern Arabian Sea. Homolax displayed close relationship with Paromola species, even though these were found to differ with respect to the length of pseudorostral spines. Additionally, the study documented the DNA sequences and genetic divergence between the genus Homolax and Homola (COI: 27.3%). Phylogenetic relationship of Homolidae with available 16S sequences from GenBank was also documented
