            <p>Type locality. Samper Bank, south-east of Madagascar, western Indian Ocean, depth 380m (Cooper 1981).</p>
            <p>Material. 28 specimens from two localities in the Sudan: 12 from GZ 93/8, 16 from SM 9B, including a total of 18 dorsal valves at both localities.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. (see Hoffmann and Lüter 2010, p. 148).</p>
            <p>Description. Shell very small, mean length about 2mm, mean width about 1.5mm, longer than wide, biconvex, ventral valve larger than dorsal valve, cemented to substrate by cicatrix of attachment, anterior commissure rectimarginate, shell coarsely endopunctate, interarea of ventral valve with horizontal growth striations, not endopunctate, with central upraised elongate triangular rugideltidium with growth lines but without horizontal striations or endopunctae, lateral edge zones of rugideltidium feathered with underlying interarea. Ventral valve interior with prominent cyrtomatodont teeth covered with fibrous secondary shell, oval lateral adductor muscle scars, hemispondylium flat or slightly concave with no supporting septum, attached to floor of valve, with parallel prominent prongs apically pointed and slightly hooked at ends, interior of valve without prominent gonadal pits, interior granulose, margin with 3–4 rows of tubercles of fibrous secondary shell. Dorsal valve rounded, interior profile arched from anterior to posterior with median septum supported by thin plate spanning cavity in early growth stages (Fig. 2 D), later filling in, median septum narrow, widening anteriorly, with central groove, margins slightly dentate, undamaged brachial cavities covered with reticulated canopy of spicules of variable arrangement (cf. Figs. 2 I and L) with a pair of ovate marsupial openings through canopy on either side of posterior end of median septum, bridge broad, no marsupial notch, median adductor muscle scars beneath bridge, with narrow delicate calcitic pole suspended from centre of bridge, no lateral outgrowths and not fused to cardinal process; cardinal process large, bilobate, lateral lobes with secondary shell covering, dental sockets flanking cardinal process, strongly tuberculated outer margins, with tubercles of secondary shell. Lophophore schizolophous.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Cooper (1981) described  Thecidellina minuta from Samper Bank, south-east of Madagascar mainly on the basis of its small size, as the name implies. Hoffmann and Lüter (2010) included this species in their new genus  Minutella for small thecidellinids with a pseudodeltidium (renamed rugideltidium by Logan and Baker 2013). The latter feature was not described by Cooper but its presence in the type specimens was confirmed by Hoffmann and Lüter (2010). These authors described  M. tristani and  M. bruntoni from the Caribbean and also recognized an Indo-Pacific group (or clade) consisting of  M. minuta from Samper Bank,  T. minuta from New Caledonia (Bitner 2009, 2010), and  M. cf. minuta from Okinawa, Fiji, and Lizard Island (Australia). To this list can be added  Minutella cf. minuta from Sulawesi, Indonesia (Simon and Hoffmann 2013) and the Red Sea occurrences described here, as well as additional discoveries of this form from Palau and Saipan (our unpublished observations). This revised Indo-Pacific group is shown in Fig. 3 as localities M1–9 and represents varieties of  M. minuta with only minor differences insufficient to separate them as distinct species. The Red Sea specimens thus become the westernmost occurrence of a postulated  Minutella minuta species complex stretching from the Red Sea to the central Pacific. </p>
            <p> According to Hoffmann and Lüter (2010, p. 158, pl. 3) one of the main distinguishing characters separating the 2 groups is the nature of the dorsal valve median septum which is narrow and straight in the Indo-Pacific group, but broad and heavily tapering posteriorly in the Caribbean group. However, Red Sea specimens demonstrate that this feature can be quite variable (compare figures 2F, I, and L) and should be used with caution. Another difference is the presence in  M. bruntoni and  M. tristani of prominent median adductor muscle scars below the brachial bridge which are not seen in  M. minuta . </p>
            <p> Although there are 28 specimens of  M. minuta from Red Sea sediments they are all devoid of soft parts. The living sites have not been found, although it is presumed that they are from cryptic habitats in nearby reefal environments (Zuschin and Mayrhofer 2009), perhaps similar to those for  Minutella bruntoni from Grand Cayman which, with  Thecidellina barretti (Davidson) and  Argyrotheca woodwardiana (Davidson) , is common in low-light areas of reef caves (Logan 1983a). The Red Sea specimens often show abrasion or damage to the shell, suggesting post-mortem transportation from their living sites. The species has only been found at 2 localities (SM 9B and GZ 93/8) but its small size may have caused it to be overlooked elsewhere. </p>

            <p> 2008  Thecidellina sp. indet. - Logan et al., p. 302, fig. 2H. </p>
            <p>Type locality. Flying Fish Cove, Christmas Island, eastern Indian Ocean, depth 84m (Dall, 1920), original specimens collected by C.W. Andrews, 1909 (see Lüter and Sieben 2005).</p>
            <p>Material. 26 specimens (24 dorsal valves), mostly from localities in the Sanganeb reefs area of the Sudanese coast off Port Sudan and Suakin (see Fig. 1 and Table 1). None have soft parts and most show evidence of transportation, likely parautochthonous (Logan et al. 2008).</p>
            <p>Description. Shell small for genus, length of ventral valve rarely exceeding 4mm, width about 3.5mm, shell usually longer than wide, endopunctate, anterior commissure rectimarginate, fibrous secondary shell restricted to cardinal process, teeth and tubercles. Ventral valve cemented to substrate by small protegulum. Interarea flat (planodeltidium of Logan and Baker 2013), finely striated with parallel growth lines, hinge teeth prominent, triangular, hemispondylium fused to valve floor, no supporting septum, prongs apically pointed, medially fused, but not usually intact. Dorsal valve smaller than ventral valve, usually elongate; cardinal process bilobate, additional median lobe only weakly developed; dental sockets on either side of cardinal process; calcitic pole attached to bridge and cardinal process, massive with flat sides in adults; median septum variable in width, arched in juveniles, diverging anteriorly, flat or slightly crested posteriorly, changing to concave anteriorly; brachial cavities deep, floored by occasional tubercles, usually found uncovered but sometimes with delicate canopy where preserved, rows of heavy ridges radiating towards the centre or bouffant-like aggregations of shell; peripheral rim with tubercles.</p>
            <p>Remarks. Lüter and Sieben (2005, p. 188) have outlined the history of this species, culminating in the subsequent loss from the National Museum of Natural History in Washington of the sole specimen, the holotype, described by Dall. Fortunately, 12 of the original topotypes collected by Andrews in 1909 are in the Natural History Museum in London and 6 in the Humboldt University Museum in Berlin and in addition there is topotypic material in Berlin collected from Flying Fish Cove by a Western Australian Museum expedition to Christmas Island. One of these is figured here (Fig. 4 F). Details of the characteristic patterns of shell aggregations in the brachial cavities of the dorsal valve are shown in Figs. 4 C, F and I.</p>
            <p> The Red Sea specimens are smaller than those from Christmas Island and the median lobe of the cardinal process is less well-developed but in other features it corresponds closely to the eastern Indian Ocean species. The species is slightly more common than  Minutella minuta in the collections from the Red Sea and has been found at more localities, mostly in the Sudan (Table 1). A single juvenile (Fig. 4 J–L) from Dahab, Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt was collected by Zuschin beneath a colony of the coral  Acropora at 10m depth. </p>

            <p> Type species.  Terebratula cuneata Risso, 1826 . </p>
            <p> Argyrotheca somaliensis Cooper, 1973 Fig 5 A–H </p>
            <p> 1973  Argyrotheca somaliensis Cooper , p. 16–17, pl. 5, figs. 1–19. </p>
            <p>Type locality. Northeast end of the Somali Republic, Indian Ocean, depth 59–61m (Cooper 1973).</p>
            <p>Material. 13 specimens (9 ventral valves and 4 dorsal valves) from 2 localities in the Sudan (GZ 93/10 and GZ 100/8) and 2 localities in the Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt (TAU 28 and TAU 39).</p>
            <p>Description. Shell small (maximum observed length 5.7 mm), transversely subrectangular in outline, ventribiconvex. Shell endopunctate, surface covered with wide, rounded costae, up to 16; intercalate ribs present. Foramen large, hypothyrid, triangular, bordered by narrow deltidial plates. Ventral valve interior with long, narrow teeth lying parallel to the hinge margin and bearing diagonal ridges. Pedicle collar relatively narrow, supported by a slender median septum that extends to mid-valve; anterior to the septum are small, shallow depressions to accommodate serrations of dorsal septum.</p>
            <p>Dorsal valve interior with short but thick inner socket ridges and prominent cardinal process (Fig. 5 F). Hinge plates attached to septum, forming a deep, broad trough; crura short, crural processes partly broken, as there is a loop. Septum thick, high, triangular in profile, anterior slope of the septum with 4–5 serrations.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The studied specimens correspond well to those described and illustrated as  Argyrotheca somaliensis from off Somalia by Cooper (1973). They differ, however, in being larger and having more numerous ribs. Cooper (1973) also observed fewer serrations in his specimens. This is the first record of this species from the Red Sea. </p>

            <p>Type locality. Ras Muhammad, southern tip of Sinai Peninsula, Red Sea, depth 10m (Cooper 1973).</p>
            <p>Material. 42 specimens (28 bivalved specimens, 8 ventral valves and 6 dorsal valves), mostly from localities in the Sanganeb reef areas and Suakin Archipelago off the Sudanese coast, and in the Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt (see Table 1). All specimens are empty shells devoid of soft parts.</p>
            <p> Remarks. This species is the commonest brachiopod in the Red Sea. It is characterized by its thin shell, small size (length of ventral valve rarely exceeding 2mm: see also comments on the holotype measurements in Bitner et al. 2008) and numerous, gently rounded ribs. The investigated specimens are consistent with the specimens of this species recorded by Logan et al. (2008) from the Red Sea. The specimens of  A. jacksoni described from the Persian Gulf (Bitner et al. 2008) differ slightly from those studied here in having more marked ribs. In outline and ornamentation the specimens from the Red Sea are similar to  A. cuneata (Risso) from the Mediterranean Sea, however, they lack a pink-red wash between the costae, characteristic for  A. cuneata . </p>

            <p> Diagnosis. Small  Argyrotheca with a wide hinge line and 4–6 heavy rounded ribs, producing scalloped anterior margin. </p>
            <p>Etymology. In commemoration of the late renowned brachiopod specialist, Dr. G. Arthur Cooper.</p>
            <p>Type locality. Suakin Archipelago, Sudan, 18° 57’N, 38° 15’E, at 90m.</p>
            <p>Holotype. The specimen (dorsal valve) illustrated in Fig. 7 I–K from GZ100/8 at a depth of 90m, NHMW 103349.</p>
            <p>Paratypes. The specimens figured in Fig. 7 A–H, NHMW 87192/GP/243–246, NHMW 103346–103347.</p>
            <p>Material. 4 ventral valves from Mersat Abu Samra, Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt, TAU 28, and 4 dorsal valves from Suakin Archipelago, Sudan, GZ 100/8.</p>
            <p>Dimensions of holotype (in mm). Length 1.6 mm, width 2.8 mm.</p>
            <p>Description. Shell thick, very small (maximum observed length 2 mm and width 2.8 mm), subrectangular to transversely elongate in outline, with a wide hinge margin. Shell coarsely endopunctate; shell surface covered with wide, heavy rounded ribs, 4 to 6 in number, forming scalloped anterior margin. Ventral valve convex, with large, triangular hypothyrid foramen bordered by 2 narrow deltidial plates in the form of ridges. Interarea flat, beak ridges sharp; pedicle collar relatively narrow, supported by a septum. Teeth long, parallel to hinge margin. Dorsal valve gently convex, with inner socket ridges narrow but thick. Cardinal process prominent; hinge plates attached to a septum forming septalium; median septum triangular in profile, high anteriorly. Crura and loop not preserved.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The material described here consists of separate valves. By its ornamentation this species is easily distinguishable from other  Argyrotheca species of the Red Sea. In ornamentation it resembles  A. grandicostata Logan, 1983 from the Canary Islands but it differs in having a much longer hinge line (Logan 1983b). In their very broad hinge margin the studied specimens are close to  A. angulata Zezina, 1987 from the Mozambique Channel but they can be easily distinguished from the latter species by their heavy ribbed ornamentation while  A. angulata is sculptured by four feeble ridges (Zezina 1987). </p>
