Treatment

Persian Gulf. Kuwait [Jones (1986) as Actaea savignyi H. Milne Edwards, 1834 ], Saudi Arabia ( Apel 2001), Bahrain [ Stephensen (1946) as A. savignyi ; Apel (2001)], UAE [ Nobili (1906a) as Actaea granulata Audouin, 1826 ; Evans et al. (1973) and Titgen (1982) as A. savignyi ; Apel (2001)], Iran [ Stephensen (1946) as A. savignyi ; Apel (2001); Naderloo & Sari (2007b), present study].

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (one site on the oyster bank of Tabl mangroves) . Bushehr Province: Bushehr, Kharg I .

General distribution. Northwestern Indian Ocean: Persian Gulf, Pakistan, India.

Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal, oyster bank to 12.5 m.

Remarks. Guinot (1976) examined the material recorded by Nobili (1906a) as Actaea granulata from Arzanah I. ( UAE) in the Persian Gulf, and described it as a new species, namely Actaea jacquelinae . Apel (2001) stated that all former records of A. savignyi from the area can be most likely assigned to A. jacquelinae . Alcock (1898) recorded A. granulata from the Persian Gulf without giving an exact locality. According to Apel (2001), Alcock’s (1898) record could be also assigned to A. jacquelinae .
