Dardanus lagopodes (Forskål, 1775) View in CoL

Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia ( Apel 2001), Bahrain ( Apel 2001), UAE [ Nobili (1906a) as Pagurus euopsis Dana, 1852 ; Titgen (1982); Apel (2001)], Iran ( Apel 2001; Moradmand 2007).

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Bandar Dayyer.

General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: East Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Red Sea, Socotra, southern Oman (Dhofar), Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, India, Andaman Sea, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, New Guinea, Christmas I., Cocos-Keeling I., Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, NSW), Samoa, French Polynesia.

Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal.

Remarks. Nobili (1906a) has recorded this species as Pagurus euopsis Dana, 1852 , from the coast of the UAE, which is a junior synonym of Dardanus lagopodes (Forskål, 1775) . Members of the genus Dardanus usually carry a sea anemone on their shells, but to date there is no record of D. lagopodes in the Persian Gulf carrying a sea anemone ( Apel 2001; Moradmand 2007).
