Albunea steinitzi Holthuis, 1958

Albunea steinitzi – Boyko 2002: 3, 55, 229, 230, 296, 303, 336, 352– 359, figs. 111, 112 [full synonymy]; Siddiqui & Kazmi 2003: 88 [ Pakistan]; Kazmi and Siddiqui 2006: 12, fig. 1 [key]; Boyko and McLaughlin 2010: 141 [list]; Osawa et al. 2010: 8, 13 [mention]; Naderloo et al. 2015: 401 [ Iran]; Ebrahimnezhad and Naderloo 2019: 448 [list].

“ Albunea ( steinitzi ?)” – Moazzam et al. 2004: 56 [ Pakistan; larvae].

? Albunea steinitzi – Wisespongpand et al. 2008: 507, 510 [ Thailand].

Material examined: 1 male (7.6 mm CL × 8.2 mm CW), 1 female (12.8 mm CL × 15.2 mm CW), Qeshm Island, Iran, coll. M. Asgari, 2008 ( ZRC 2014.0030).

Range: From Pakistan in the Red Sea and southward to Tanzania; depth range unknown ( Boyko 2002).

Remarks: This species has previously been reported from Iran ( Naderloo et al. 2015). Although Moazzam et al. (2004) were unsure of the identification of their larval specimens, they were likely correct, as this species has been reported several times from Pakistan; but the record from Thailand ( Wisespongpand et al. 2008) is dubious, as A. steinitzi has never been reported east of Pakistan.
