Pisidia inaequalis

Description

Pisidia inaequalis (Heller, 1861)

Persian Gulf. UAE (Nobili (1906a), Iran (present study).

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Zeytun Park Beach, Suza).

General distribution. Northwestern Indian Ocean: Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, southern Oman (Dhofar), Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman.

Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal

Remarks. Haig (1966) verified Nobili’s specimens of P. inaequalis and confirmed that the specimens belong to the genus Pisidia according to two main characters of the genus. Unfortunately, Nobili’s specimens were not available to us, but by referring to Haig’s statement (1966: 54, 55) and Nobili’s description and illustrations (1906a: 74, 75, Pl, 2. fig. 18), this record can be convincingly accepted. Therefore, our record is actually the second one of this species from the Persian Gulf, and confirms its presence in the region.
