Regional records. PG: UAE (Nobili 1906, as Alpheus audouini Coutière), Iran (Naderloo & Türkay 2012); GO: Iran (Naderloo et al. 2015)
Distribution. Indo-West Pacific: from South Africa and Red Sea to Japan and Australia.
Habitat. Rocky/sandy intertidal, under rocks and large pieces of coral rubble; intertidal and shallow subtidal, 0–3 m deep.
Remark. This species complex is very common in the GO, especially in rocky-sandy habitats. Morphologically, our material agrees well with Banner & Banner’s (1982) description. The variation in color patterns in PG and GO material caused a problematic status for this species complex. According to Anker & De Grave (2016), Alpheus edwardsii is a challenging group comprised of several species and therefore needs a thorough examination of morphologically similar material from its geographical range.
