Comment: Mesopenaeus tropicalis was first considered for the specimen photographed during Karubenthos 2015 but its rostrum does not match the figure in Pérez Farfante & Kensley (1997: 174, fig. 120). The aspect of the rostrum with 6 teeth is more like S. necopina, and its carapace and abdomen are in accordance with description in Pérez Farfante & Bullis (1973: 14, fig. 7). The specimen MNHN-IU-2013-19195 is bright red, whereas others specimens are pale yellow, but it similar for distribution pattern of white patches at tip of antennae and on tailfan.
