The Lakshadweep archipelago constitutes a major coral region of India but still lacks sufficient biodiversity data owing to its remoteness and a low number of faunal studies in the past. The present paper describes two new Pseudoceros species collected from Agatti Island, Lakshadweep, India. Pseudoceros bipurpurea sp. nov. and Pseudoceros galaxea sp. nov. are described based on external and internal characters, supported with histological studies and photographs. Pseudoceros bipurpurea sp. nov. is characterized by a cream background colour and an orange median line surrounded by dense patches of purple spots, which tend to disperse and broaden towards the posterior end. Pseudoceros galaxea sp. nov. displays a brown background colour with numerous white to cream dots covering almost the entire dorsal surface and a thin black margin. This study adds two new species to the polyclad fauna in Indian waters, raising the count to 68 species. An updated checklist of polyclads from Indian coast is also provided.

来自印度阿加蒂岛的两个新的假角珊瑚（扁形动物：多枝体：伪角龙科）和来自印度水域的物种清单

Lakshadweep 群岛构成印度的一个主要珊瑚区，但由于其地处偏远和过去的动物研究数量较少，仍然缺乏足够的生物多样性数据。本论文描述了从印度拉克沙德维普的阿加蒂岛采集的两种新的假角珊瑚物种。双紫花假丝酵母sp。十一月 和银杏sp。十一月 基于外部和内部特征进行描述，并有组织学研究和照片支持。双紫花假丝酵母sp。十一月 其特征是奶油色背景色和橙色中线，周围环绕着密集的紫色斑点，这些斑点倾向于向后端分散和变宽。银杏sp。十一月 显示棕色背景色，有许多白色到奶油色的点，几乎覆盖整个背部表面和薄薄的黑色边缘。这项研究为印度水域的多壳动物群增加了两个新物种，使数量增加到 68 个。还提供了来自印度海岸的更新的 polyclads 清单。
