Significant work has been done on the diversity and distribution of pandalid shrimps in Indian waters but reports did not include the presence of this species. The objective was to list the marine shrimps of Gujarat. Samples were collected from trawl catch. Procletes levicarina is reported for first time from the coastal area of Gujarat, including a detailed morphological description and photographs. This species is previously reported from the east coast of India. Procletes levicarina occurs in the west coast of India.
