03CBF87AFFC8FFAABA3EF99394F9FA7E.taxon	description	4 C, D; 1971; 237, fig. 2, pl. 2 [= S. striaticarpus] Material Examined. One male, CL 9.6 mm; CW: 10.6 mm, LFSc. ZRC – 155, India, Goa State, Chapora estuary (15 º 37.953 ’ N 73 º 45.765 ’ E), mangrove habitat, 12 July 2016, coll. M. Bhat. Diagnosis (modified from Davie, 1992). Carapace (Fig. 1 a) slightly broader than long, glabrous, deeply vaulted, punctate with setae arranged sparsely on branchial lines. Regions moderately defined with mesogastric distinct. Anterolateral margins regularly convex with 2 blunt teeth behind exorbital angle. Front bilobed. Branchial ridges prominent forming series of short broken granular striations. Inner orbital tooth well developed; ocular peduncle swollen basally, cornea constricted and reduced. Chelipeds (Fig. 1 a) subequal, large, robust. Merus posterior border with minutely granular striations; distinct subdistal spine; carpus with small spine at inner angle. Palm upper surface with series of transverse grooves separating swollen ridges (Fig. 1 d), distal margin of ridges granular with row of 8 pectinated comb-like teeth. Dactylus (Fig. 1 c) dorsal surface of males bearing 4 large, broad, chitinous tubercles proximally; first proximal tooth placed distally from articulation. Male pleon relatively narrow, third somite widest, telson subequal to the sixth somite in length, longer than wide. G 1 (Fig. 1 e) moderately stout; slightly curved, dorsal surface of shaft flattened with poorly developed protuberance on the distal end; apical process (Fig. 1 f) corneous; strongly produced; straight. Remarks. The specimen examined in the present study agrees with the description given by Dana (1851) and Davie (1992) viz., the cheliped carpus upper surface having a large patch of tiny, flattened, squamous granules situated distally behind articulation with the palm (Fig. 1 d); Palm upper surface with subparallel ridges and grooves. Cheliped dactylus with first proximal tooth placed distally from articulation.	en	Trivedi, Mithila Bhat Chandrashekher Rivonker Krupal Patel Jigneshkumar (2021): First confirmed record of Sarmatium crassum Dana, 1851 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Sesarmidae) from India.
