The deep-sea paskentanid snail Alviniconcha marisindica is a deep-sea gastropod inhabited in hydrothermal vents of the Indo-Pacific. It belongs to superfamily Abyssochrysoidea. And it is only Alviniconcha species found in the Indian Ocean, named by T. Okutani for the latin name for Indian Sea. Found specifically at vent sites on the Central Indian Ridge ranging from 2,400 to 330 m (7,870 to 1,080 ft) in depth. Hosts epsilon-proteobacterial endosymbionts.
