Cuapetes andamanensis ( Kemp, 1922) View in CoL
(Fig.. 2A)
Material. 5 females & 6 males ( ZUTC 6854 ), Bandar Khamir, Persian Gulf, 26°58’45.37”N, 55°39’14.36”E, mangroves, 25.05.2019, coll. H. Ashrafi. GoogleMaps
Habitat and habit. This species was found under debris in mangrove creaks with high density of pneumatophores of mangroves.
General distribution. Indo-West Pacific.
Remarks. In the original description, Kemp (1922) noted that the palm of major cheliped is from 1.8 to 2.1 times as long as fingers whereas in the present material, these are subequal.Although, the color pattern of the Persian Gulf’s material was compatible to the material collected from some stations in east Indian Ocean by Zdeněk Ďuriš, This comparison suggests either variability in the mentioned proportion, or dealing with two distinct species.
