Moderate anaemia was most common. A significant difference (p<0.001) was observed between anaemic and non-anaemic pregnant women with respect to educational status, socioeconomic status & parity of women. Proportion of anaemic women was higher in age groups <20 years, joint families, women with vegetarian diet. History of menstrual irregularities and prolonged cycles (length of flow >6 days) was reported in significantly higher proportion of anaemic women as compared to non-anaemic women.

Unlike most of the species of the genus, Menacanthus studied so far, the eggshell of M. eurysternus lacks the apophyses (bristle like outgrowths arising from anterior portion of the eggshell). However, the opercular disc of M. eurysternus bears a polar thread and the micropyles are set along the opercular rim.
