Treatment

Amphiura (Amphiura) sp.

Habitat: Rock tidal flat, mixed rock and sand beach, 0 m ( Price 1981).

Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman: Juaymah (23), Tarut Bay (25) (ibid.).

Indian Ocean: n/a

Remarks: The two unidentified species of Amphiura may belong to known species, because Price (1981) said that they were poorly preserved, which may have made them unrecognizable. If the material can be found, they need to be re-examined and identification with molecular methods should be tried (e.g. barcoding).
