New records of Parascolopsis akatamae Miyamoto, McMahan, & Kaneko, 2020 are reported from India’s southeast coast. Three specimens were collected in April 2021 on the Parangipettai coast, Tamil Nadu, India. We examined and compared morphometric and meristic characters of our specimens with published data from the holotype. The new India records expand the known distribution of P. akatamae, which had previously been reported from southern Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand. Parascolopsis akatamae is a new addition to the list of marine fishes from Indian coastal waters.
