Palaemon serrifer (Stimpson, 1860) View in CoL

Persian Gulf. First Persian Gulf record.

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Kaveh Jetty, Dargahan), Mahtabi, 15 km. E of Bandar-Lengeh.

General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: South Africa, Persian Gulf, India, Mergui Archipelago, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Korea, Japan, Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland).

Habitat. Sandy-muddy intertidal.

Remarks. The identity of the specimens has been checked by Sammy De Grave (pers. comm.). Sheibani (2008) recorded Palaemon pacificus (Stimpson, 1860) from the Persian Gulf, which is most probably a misidentification of P. serrifer .
