Treatment

HOLOTYPE. MZUT R3011.

TYPE LOCALITY. Originally Bandar Abbas, later on corrected by the same author ( Blanford 1876) to “one [day’s] march from Bandar Abbas on road to Kerman ” [Bushehr Prov., Iran].

DISTRIBUTION. Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, and the Arabian Peninsula.

DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 64 View FIGURES 62–67. 62 . Along the Persian Gulf shore in Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan Prov.

HABITAT. Bound to loose sand, sand dunes with scattered low shrubs, sandy torrent beds and other habitats with loose substrates.

REMARKS. Arnold’s (1980a) phylogenetic hypothesis based on morphological characters is in agreement with the latest DNA analyses ( Metallinou et al. 2012; Pyron et al. 2013) in placing S. doriae to the sister position to S. leptocosymbotes (Leviton & Anderson) .
