Abstract

Irak kıyılarında denizel Brachyura'nın tür listesinin 29 türden oluştuğu tespit edildi. Pilumnidae, Leucosiidae, Camptandriidae ve Macrophthalmidae, kuzeybatı Basra-Arap Körfezi'ndeki en yaygın familyalardır. Phalangipus persicus Griffin, 1973'ün örnekleri Temmuz 2019'da Irak'taki Basra Körfezi'nin kuzeybatısındaki Fao bölgesinden toplanmıştır.

Checklist of the Marine Brachyura of the North Western Persian-Arabian Gulf, with the New Record of Phalangipus persicus Griffin, 1973 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Epialtidae MacLeay, 1838) from the Iraqi Coast

Year 2021, Volume: 17 Issue: 4, 525 - 531, 01.12.2021

Abstract

The checklist of the marine Brachyura from the Iraqi coast has been analyzed and presently it comprises 29 species. The Pilumnidae, Leucosiidae, Camptandriidae, and Macrophthalmidae are the most diverse families in the northwestern Persian-Arabian Gulf. Specimens of Phalangipus persicus Griffin, 1973 have been collected from the northwest of the Persian-Arabian Gulf, Iraq, at the Fao region in July 2019. This species is widely distributed in the Persian-Arabian Gulf, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and UAE; however, it is recorded for the first time from the Iraqi coasts.
