Abstract Amphipod samples were collected from the rocky habitat of Arjyapalli beach in southern Odisha, India. The specimens were analysed for morphological characters. One interesting species was observed during the study and was identified as Stenothoe lowryi. The species was previously reported only from Malaysia. The present study confirms the distributional range extension of this species to Indian waters and details a few additional morphological characters.
