Sediment samples were collected at low tide from various localities of the Jubail Marine Wildlife Sanctuary in the Arabian Gulf on several occasions during l996-l997 for the study of the marine interstitial ciliate fauna of the Sanctuary. Twenty three species belonging to the order Hypotrichida were identified after protargol impregnation, 20 of which represent new records of the fauna of Saudi Arabia, and of the Arabian Gulf at large. The distribution of each species is compared to those in similar habitats worldwide. The present study increases the total known number of hypotrichid ciliates species in Saudi Arabia to 40 species.

Internal Parasites

The Blue swimmer crab, Portunus pelagicus, (Linnaeus, 1758), has world-wide economic and nutritional importance. It is considered one of the main economic groups of marine organisms in the coastal regions of the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf near the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study was carried out during 2007 in the coastal area of AL-Khobar City in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. The study described external and internal parasites of the blue swimmer crab drawn and photographed by light and microscopes. The study reported the following parasites in the blue crab: Octolasmis sp. (Gray, 1825), pepper spots parasites, Balanus sp. (Da Costa, 1778), as an external parasite in crustaceans of Cypris sp (O. F. Müller, 1776) and Calanus sp. (Leach, 1819). In addition, free-living nematodes were observed on external parts of the crab while some commensal Amoeba sp. (Ehrenberg, 1930 ) were observed during examination of the hindgut of the crab. This is the first study of its kind in the Eastern Province of the Kigdom of Saudi Arabia.

A New Species

Study of ground beetles of the Garf Raydah Nature Reserve, located in the Asir Mountains of southwestern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) resulted in one species, Paussus abditus Nagel, sp. n. described as new to science. Thirteen species (21.3%) are reported as new country records and fifteen species (24.6%) are new records for Asir Province. Adult beetles were collected from 2013 to 2017. The determination of this material yielded a total of 61 species in 40 genera and 17 tribes belonging to nine subfamilies of Carabidae. The species richness represented approximately 36.1% of carabid species previously reported from KSA. The most species rich tribes were the Lebiini (20 species), the Harpalini (10 species), and the Bembidiini (6 species). The life form analysis of adults indicated 18 life form types that are grouped into three categories, Zoophagous (77.1%), Mixophytophagous (18.0%), and Myrmecophilous (4.9%). Zoogeographical analyses indicated that the Afrotropical (19.3%) and the Saharo-Arabian (19.3%) species dominate the carabid fauna of this region of KSA. Coryza cf. maculata (Nietner, 1856) is considered the only Oriental representative. Only one cosmopolitan species, Perigona nigriceps (Dejean, 1831), was collected. Eleven endemics were identified; six species are considered KSA endemics and five are Arabian Peninsula endemics.

Collection Data

This paper reports on 35 species and 33 genera belonging to 18 families of the order Mesostigmata, collected from different provinces of Saudi Arabia. Among these, eight families, 21 genera and 30 species, mostly collected from date palm agroecosystem, are new to the fauna of Saudi Arabia. Five species reported previously are also recorded in this study. The collection data and distribution of all species recorded in this study as well as those reported previously are given. A comprehensive key to the females of the mesostigmatic mites reported from Saudi Arabia, except the Phytoseioidea, is provided.
