The occurrence of sickle fin weasel shark Hemigaleus microstoma Bleeker, 1852 is reported here from Indian EEZ, off the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Two specimens of total length (TL) 610 mm and 628 mm were caught by longline at depths 40-100 m. A detailed diagnostic description and morphometrics of H. microstoma and its comparison with previous literature is provided. COI DNA barcodes were generated for the collected specimens.Keywords
