Abstract
The study represents a stomatopod crustacean, Clorida latreillei Eydoux & Souleyet, 1842 reported for the first time in Bangladesh. This new record was revealed through a cursory expedition to the Sundarbans mangrove coast. Photos of the collected specimen, diagnostic characteristics, and comments on the distribution are provided in this paper. Based on peer-reviewed literature, the article also provides the first annotated checklist of stomatopods of Bangladesh. Given the extent of the country’s maritime boundary and associated diverse habitats, stomatopods, commonly known as mantis shrimps, appear to be an understudied group as only eight species under two families are so far listed.
