Thalamita admete
Authors/Creators
Description
Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia (Stephenson 1976; Basson et al. 1977), UAE (Titgen 1982), Iran (present study). Alcock (1899) recorded the species from the Persian Gulf without exact locality.
Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Suza).
General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: East Africa, Madagascar, Réunion, Mauritius, southern Oman (Dhofar), Persian Gulf, Pakistan, India, Thailand. Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Cocos-Keeling Is., Lord Howe I., Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, NSW), French Polynesia, Hawaiian Is.
Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal.
Remarks. Apel (2001) did not list this species among the known species of Thalamita from the Persian Gulf and Apel & Spiridonov (1998) stated that all previous records of T. admete from the Persian Gulf were wrong identifications of T. savignyi, which is more common than the former. During the present study we found several specimens at Qeshm I. which are clearly identifiable as T. admete using the key and description provided by Apel & Spiridonov (1998). Therefore, the present record confirms the occurrence of T. admete in the Persian Gulf.
