Nereis persica Fauvel, 1911 View in CoL , new record

Material examined. Ramin Jetty ( 25° 16' 31.00" N, 60° 44' 59.00" E), ZUTC 7060 , rocky, intertidal zone, collected by Bonyadi-Naeini A., 20 April 2007 GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The only specimen studied is most similar to the original description of Nereis persica Fauvel, 1911 . It is a new record for the Gulf of Oman. The Gulf of Oman specimen differs from Nereis pelagica Linnaeus, 1758 in three features: fewer paragnaths in Area I (0–1 vs 2–3), more paragnaths in Area VI (6–10 vs 4–5). Also, the posterior notopodial homogomph falcigers have one to two blunt teeth vs short smooth ones.
