Two new species of apseudomorphan tanaidaceans, Pagurapseudopsis kochindica and Ctenapseudes indiana are described as new to science. Specimens used in this study are based on an extensive sampling (79 locations) in the Kochi Backwaters during the Southwest Monsoon and Post-Southwest Monsoon periods. A total of 109 individuals of P. kochindica and 180 individuals of C. indiana were examined. P. kochindica and C. indiana are distinguished from all the known species of their respective congeners by the structure and shape of chelipeds.
