Remarks. Pixell (1913: 78) reported Hydroides dipoma (as Eupomatus spinosus ) from Suez. Zibrowius (1973b: 36) commented on the species’ disjunctive distribution, from the length of the south east Atlantic coast, without additional records from the Mediterranean or from the Indian Ocean or Red Sea; and with a single Indo-West-Pacific location, Suez. We agree with him that it is likely that the record at Suez is due to a ship-borne introduction. We have not enumerated Hydroides dipoma among the species reported from the Canal. However, due to the proximity of Suez to the southern opening of the canal, we would not be surprised if it were to be found in the canal.
