Abstract
Three specimens of Audacallichirus audax (de Man, 1911) were collected from Mudasal Odai (11o29'06"N 79o46'28"E) fish landing center, Tamil Nadu, South-eastern coast of India in August 2022 and June 2023. The species was recognised by key characters and colour pattern. The identification is further confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequences. This is the first record from south-east India, outside their known geographical range which is a range extension within the Indian coastal region.
