Abstract
Two corbulid species Caestocorbula gujaratensis var. mangroli and Caestocorbula gigantica are described here from the Mangrol Lignite Mine of Gujarat. Caestocorbula gigantica is the largest species within the corbulid clade. Detailed systematic description of the two species is the main stay of present endeavour. Since the two species have different overlapping morphologies, multivariate data analysis incorporating principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant analysis (DA) have been applied in the present study. Application of PCA to test the variance among the morphometric data of the two species has been performed and the application of DA clearly separate the two species in spite of existence of correlation among the variables of two species.
