Nanogalathea raymondi is a species of squat lobster from the Bay of Bengal.[3] It is the only species in the genus Nanogalathea.[4] It can be distinguished from other squat lobsters by the lack of any teeth along the edge of the rostrum. The specific epithet raymondi commemorates the carcinologist Raymond B. Manning.[3]
