Abstract
Sea urchin crab Echinoecus pentagonus A. Milne Edwards was documented based on specimen collected from the intertidal region of Agatti Island, Lakshadweep. It was found clinging on the ventral side of the sea urchin host Echinothrix calamaris Pallas. Species identification was confirmed with the help of elongated rostrum and carapace morphology. E. pentagonus found in Lakshadweep constitutes the known geographical range extension. In the present paper, description of species, host and distribution were discussed in detail.
