Of the eleven polychaetan species described here, three species described by Stoliczka under the formerly broad-based genus Serpula are now transferred to other genera, viz., Glomerula, Sarcinella and Parsimonia. Among the six species described here as new to science, two have for their proper placement, necessitated creation of two new genera Fissurituba and Lacinituba falling respectively under the subfamilies Ditrupinae and Lacinitubinae. The two genera Omasaria Regenhardt and Proliserpula Regenhardt are new to South Indian Cretaceous Formations
