Upogebia pseudochelata Tettersall, 1921 View in CoL
Persian Gulf. First Persian Gulf record.
Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (south coast, 5 km W. of the city).
General distribution. Northwestern Indian Ocean: Red Sea, Socotra, Persian Gulf.
Habitat. Rocky intertidal.
Remarks. The present specimens are in complete agreement with the descriptions and illustrations given by Tattersall (1921: 395, pl. 28, figs. 16–22) and Sakai (1982: 37, figs. 6e, 8e–f). The nearest record of the species to the Persian Gulf is the one from Socotra I. by Sakai & Apel (2002). We examined the Socotra specimens ( one male and one female, SMF 26523) for comparative purposes.
