Abstract

The present paper reports the occurrence of Gerres infasciatus (Perciformes: Gerreidae), the third species in the “G. filamentosus†complex, for the first time from coastal waters of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal states of India, Bay of Bengal. From India, this species was earlier known only from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Their relationship within the complex is also discussed for correct identification.
