Abstract :The transference of the species belonging to the genus Mehrarhynchus to the genus Cleveius by Golvan (1959)1 and Bhattacharya (2007)2 is unwarranted. The authors have reasons to consider the genus Mehrarhynchus valid & supported by Yamaguti (1963)3, who considered genera Cleaveius & Mehrarhynchus separate with suitable scientific reasons. The authors have reasons to place M.manipurensis– a species under enquiry.
