“…De Grave & Ashelby (2011) added three species to the caridean fauna and provided an updated checklist of 59 species from the Gulf excluding the three new records of Sheibani (2008). Twenty-seven shallow water carideans are recorded here from the Iranian coast, of which 24 were collected during the study.…”

A total of 150 species belonging to five infraorders (Caridea, Stenopodidea, Thalassinidea, Anomura and Brachyura) are recorded from the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf. About 17% (26 species) are new records for the area. The infraorder Brachyura shows the highest species richness with 83 species. The Anomura and Caridea, with 29 and 27 species, respectively, follow. The Thalassinidea is represented by 10 species, whereas Stenopodidea only by one. The species with the highest occurence are ranked as follows: Nanosesarma sarii Naderloo & Türkay, 2009 (Brachyura), Alpheus lobidens De Haan, 1850 (Caridea), Metopograpsus messor (Forskål, 1775) (Brachyura), Coenobita scaevola (Forskål, 1775) (Anomura), Diogenes avarus Heller, 1865 (Anomura), Pilumnopeus convexus Maccagno, 1936 (Brachyura) and Portunus segnis (Forskål, 1775) (Brachyura). Among the surveyed habitats, mixed rocky/cobble show the highest diversity with 99 (66%) recorded species, followed by sedimentary muddy-sandy substrates and mangroves with 40 (26%) and 24 species (16%), respectively. The least diverse habitat is sandy beaches with 6 species. The decapod fauna shows a predominance of wide ranging Indo-West Pacific species (43%) and a small degree of endemism (5%). A considerable number of species is restricted to the northwestern Indian Ocean (27%), supporting the presence of a zoogeographical subregion within the western Indian Ocean Province.

“…This has resulted in higher records for Decapoda (more than 400 species) based on comparative studies, mostly on crabs (Naderloo, 2017). Other reports concern high diversity of caridean shrimp (De Grave & Ashelby, 2011;Naderloo & Türkay, 2012). The need for such taxonomic studies is rising in the region.…”

“…Recently, a new species was described from Kuwait as A. lutosus Anker & De Grave, 2009. An updated list of caridean shrimps was provided by De Grave & Ashelby (2011), including 14 species of Alpheus . Three more species were recorded by Naderloo & Türkay (2012) from the Iranian coast, namely A. edamensis De Man, 1888, A. macrodactylus Ortmann, 1890 and A. paracrinitus Miers, 1881.…”

Three new species of narrowly endemic snapping shrimp, genusAlpheus(Decapoda: Caridea: Alpheidae) from the Persian Gulf

Three new species of snapping shrimps of the genusAlpheusare described from the Persian Gulf. These belong to theAlpheus edwardsiispecies-group, which is mainly characterized by unarmed orbital hoods and the presence of dorsal and ventral notches on the palm of the major chela.Alphus ankerisp. nov. shows a close affinity toA. pacificusDana, 1852 andA. heronicusBanner & Banner, 1982 bearing no balaeniceps crests in both sexes on the dactylus of the minor chela, and the merus of the major chela of both sexes are unarmed. This species differs from the closely related species by the absence of an overhanging proximal shoulder in the major chela. The other rock crevice inhabiting species,A. mohammadpourisp. nov. is diagnosed by exhibiting sexual dimorphism in its balaeniceps crests and the armed merus of the major chela. These two characters are similar to those recorded for three sandy/rubble dwelling species:A. inopinatusHolthuis & Gottlieb, 1958,A. lobidensDe Haan, 1849 andA. australiensisBanner & Banner, 1982. This new species is distinguishable from these latter species by the shape of the minor chela and colour pattern. A coral inhabiting speciesA. abumusasp. nov. appears to be closely related toA. maindroniCoutière, 1898, showing an armed merus of the major chela and the absence of spine-like seta on the ischia of the third legs. This last new species is easily discriminated fromA. maindroniby longer antennular segments, a markedly concave frontal margin between the rostrum and orbital hood, and a different colour pattern.

“…However, little is known about its ecology and life-cycle. N. sibogae has been recorded from Papua New Guinea, Japan, Vietnam, Zanzibar, Seychelles, Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Persian Gulf, Singapore (Hayashi, 1975;Noël, 1986;Manning & Chace, 1971;De Grave & Ashelby, 2011). Although it is a widespread species in the Indo-Pacific there are no records of this species from the Red Sea.…”
