A survey of copepods from intertidal zone of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman resulted in discovery of three new species belonging to the family Canuellidae Lang, 1944. This work contributes to the final aim to describe meiobenthic copepods from this region and is the first description of meiobenthic copepods from Iranian coastline. The new species belong to the genera Brianola Monard, 1926, Canuella, T. & A. Scott, 1893, and Scottolana Huys, 2009. Compared to other congeners, Brianola haliensis sp. nov. is unique in the armature of the first leg, number of segments and setation of the antennary endopod and exopod. Canuella persica sp. nov. is easily distinguishable from its congeners by the shape of furcal rami and male genitalia. Scottolana gomezi sp. nov. is assigned to the longipes-group by the presence of two and three post-genital somites in the female and male, respectively. It is closely related to S. geei (Mu & Huys, 2004) recorded from the Bohai Sea, China, but can be distinguished by its eight-segmented antennary exopod, mouthparts setation, and shape of the furcal rami.

AbstractThree new species of snapping shrimps of the genusAlpheusare described from the Persian Gulf. These belong to theAlpheus edwardsiispecies-group, which is mainly characterized by unarmed orbital hoods and the presence of dorsal and ventral notches on the palm of the major chela.Alphus ankerisp. nov. shows a close affinity toA. pacificusDana, 1852 andA. heronicusBanner & Banner, 1982 bearing no balaeniceps crests in both sexes on the dactylus of the minor chela, and the merus of the major chela of both sexes are unarmed. This species differs from the closely related species by the absence of an overhanging proximal shoulder in the major chela. The other rock crevice inhabiting species,A. mohammadpourisp. nov. is diagnosed by exhibiting sexual dimorphism in its balaeniceps crests and the armed merus of the major chela. These two characters are similar to those recorded for three sandy/rubble dwelling species:A. inopinatusHolthuis & Gottlieb, 1958,A. lobidensDe Haan, 1849 andA. australiensisBanner & Banner, 1982. This new species is distinguishable from these latter species by the shape of the minor chela and colour pattern. A coral inhabiting speciesA. abumusasp. nov. appears to be closely related toA. maindroniCoutière, 1898, showing an armed merus of the major chela and the absence of spine-like seta on the ischia of the third legs. This last new species is easily discriminated fromA. maindroniby longer antennular segments, a markedly concave frontal margin between the rostrum and orbital hood, and a different colour pattern.

The Persian Gulf

A collection of octocorals from the Persian Gulf is examined, and all species are identified to at least genus level. Sinularia erecta Tixier-Durivault, 1945; S. compressa Tixier-Durivault, 1945; Subergorgia suberosa (Pallas, 1766); Junceella juncea (Pallas, 1766); and Acanthogorgia spinosa Hiles, 1899, could be identified further. With some doubts Trimuricea reticulata (Thomson & Simpson, 1909), Menella cf. kanisa Grasshoff, 2000, and Verrucella cf. reticulata (Thomson & Simpson, 1909) are tentatively identified. Subergorgia perezi Stiasny, 1940 is synonymised with Subergorgia suberosa (Pallas, 1766), and Echinogorgia bahrelfarsi Stiasny, 1940 is assigned to Menella. Three new species are described and depicted.

A key to all nine described marine species of naked lobose amoebae classified in the genus Vannella Bovee, 1965, is presented. All six species studied with the electron microscope have the characteristic surface structure found also in freshwater members of the genus. The key includes five species isolated from British waters, including three new species; a fourth new species is from the Persian Gulf area. Generic identification of Vannella, even in mixed material, can be made readily with the electron microscope, which is sometimes necessary for positive distinction from Platyamoeba. Further identification to species is a light-microscopical procedure. Members of this genus are cultured on bacteria, which are probably their main food in nature.

A New Species

Garra hormuzensis, new species, is described from the Kol River drainage. It is distinguished from its congeners in the Iranian part of the Persian Gulf basin by having 7½ branched dorsal-fin rays, usually 9+8 branched caudal-fin rays, the breast, belly and back in front of the dorsal-fin origin covered by scales, and a free lateral and posterior margins of the gular disc. It is further characterised by having a minimum K2P distance of 1.16% to G. mondica in the mtDNA COI barcode region.

Electronmicroscope Study

Two new species of Sphaeromopsis (Sphaeromatidae: Isopoda) from Iran are described based on light and electronmicroscope study: Sphaeromopsis sarii sp. nov. from the coasts of Kish and Qeshm Islands, and S. persikolpos sp. nov. from Kish Island, Qeshm Islands and the southern coasts of Iran. The two species are sympatric in most areas. Sphaeromopsis sarii is distinct among other species in the genus for having a pleotelson with a faint dorsomedial furrow and a broadly rounded apex. Sphaeromopsis persikolpos sp. nov. is unique for the single suture at either side of the posterior margin of the pleon, a narrow pleotelsonic apex, and the uropodal exopod extensions that reach well beyond the pleotelsonic apex.
