Description

Pisidia gordoni (Johnson, 1970)

Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia (Apel 2001), Bahrain (Haig 1966), UAE (Nobili 1906a; Apel 2001), Iran (Nobili 1906a; Haig 1966; present study).

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (three stations around the island). Bushehr Province: Bandar-Dayyer, Bushehr (Jofreh), Kharg I. Khuzestan Province: Khor Musa.

General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: East Africa, Somalia, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia.

Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal.

Remarks. Haig (1966) recorded Pisidia cf. spinulifrons from the Iranian coast and Bahrain. Later, Haig (1981) synonymized this species with Pisidia gordoni (Johnson, 1970). Nobili’s (1906a) record of Porcellana serratifrons from Arzanah I. in the UAE and from the Iranian coast between El Katif and Bushehr has been listed under synonymies of the present species (see Haig 1966).
