Abstract
    This study reports four species of the genus Diacavolinia, belonging to the family Cavoliniidae J. E. Gray, 1850 (1815) and the order Pteropoda Cuvier, 1804, newly recorded from India. The species are Diacavolinia deshayesi van der Spoel, Bleeker & Kobayasi, 1993; Diacavolinia grayi van der Spoel, Bleeker & Kobayasi, 1993; Diacavolinia mcgowani van der Spoel, Bleeker & Kobayasi, 1993 and Diacavolinia strangulata (Deshayes, 1823). These pteropod species were collected from sediment samples in the Nicobar Islands during the voyage of FORV Sagar Sampada (Cruise No. 292). This paper describes their identifying characteristics, morphometric measurements and distribution.
