Description
7. Argathona muraena Bal & Joshi, 1959.
In need of redescription. The whereabouts of the type material is unknown [not stated by Bal & Joshi (1959)]. The generic status is uncertain as the pereopods are similar to those of Alcirona, while the mouthparts correspond with that of Argathona. Recorded from Muraena tessellata [now Gymnothorax favagineus Block & Schneider] Muraenidae; Bombay, India.
