    Abstract
    Sea cucumbers (holothurians) are marine invertebrates that are harvested worldwide, mostly for human consumption in Asian countries To date, only eight species of synaptid holothurians of the genus Protankyra have been reported from the Indian Ocean The present report forms the first record of Protankyra bidentata (Woodward and Barrett, 1858) from Indian waters The specimen recorded was small measuring 42 mm in length, cylindrical in shape with microscopic ossicles scattered throughout the skin The size and shape of calcareous ossicles are very specific and found similar to previous reports of P bidentata
