Cryptodromia fallax (Lamark, 1818) View in CoL

Persian Gulf. Iran ( Stephensen 1946; present study).

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Tula, Shib-Deraz).

General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: South Africa, East Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, southern Oman (Dhofar), Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormoz, Maldives, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Gilbert and Ellice Is., Marshall Islands, French Polynesia.

Habitat. Rocky bed intertidal.

Remarks. Stephensen (1946) recorded this species as Cryptodromia canaliculata Stimpson, 1858 , based on a single female from the north coast of the Qeshm I. Apel (2001) examined the specimen of Stephensen (1946) and assigned it to C. fallax . A single female was collected during the present study from the south coast of the Qeshm I. in Shib-Deraz. Alcock (1899b; 1901) recorded C. canaliculata from the Persian Gulf without exact locality. Without examining the material it is not clear if the identification of the Alcock’s (1899b; 1901) material is correct or not.
