Probable misapplication. P. plumosus is predominantly a NE Atlantic/ Mediterranean species that Carter (1881) published a probably errant record from southern India. The species has not previously been reported in the Gulf of Mannar, Indian region. Until the record is confirmed through re-examination of voucher specimens this distribution is incertae sedis
