Salinity ranges for L. pectinata in coastal and estuarine waters of Goa (India).
Shaded area indicates the range of higher abundance.
Species Labidocera pectinata - Distribution map 3Issued from : A. Fleminger in UNESCO Techn. paers mar. Sci., 1986, 49. [p.92, Fig.7].
Present geographical distribution of the Labidocera pectinata species group., based on localities cited in Fleminger & al. (1982) and new unpublished data.
Extent of shading offshore is merely for illustrative purposes and not intended to depict actual offshore distribution of individual species; in most cases offshore distribution is confined to waters inshore of the 100 m isobath.
Cladogram in lower shows hypothetized phylogenetic relationships of species and shadings representing ranges of individual species.
Circled nodes are hypothetized speciation events taht appear to have occurred in the vicinity of Wallacea Line.

Arabian Sea, Karachi, Sri Lanka (Palk Straits), Laccadive Is., India (W, Cochin Backwater, off Cochin, Saurashtra coast, Bombay, Goa, Kerala, Pointcalimere-Mnamelkudi, Madras, Burhabalanga estuary), E India, Gulf of Mannar, Palk Bay, Godavari region, Bay of Bengal, Andaman Sea, W Malay Peninsula, Malaysia (Riv.

Rem.: More or less brackish; nearshore.
According to Othman & Toda (2006, p.313) the geographic distribution show that both L. pectinata and L. rotunda may be sympatric; off Sister's Island (Singapore), the samples show that both pectinata and rotunda are present. The extent of L. pectinata is from Karachi (Pakistan) to Mersing (South China Sea).
Ohtsuka & Nishida (2017, p.575) point to a comprehensive speciation pattern was proposed for the Indo-Pacific coastal L. pectinata species complex, based on vicariant events in accord with eustatic changes in sea level during the Pleistocene (< - 2.6 million years)) (Flemi,ger, 1986).
