Cinetorhynchus cf. hendersoni ( Kemp, 1925)

Material. 1 male ( ZUTC 6857 ), west Farur Island , Persian Gulf, 26°17’43.63”N, 54°29’5.21”E, sandy/rocky with corals, 29.12.2017, coll. R. Naderloo & H. Ashrafi.

Habitat and habit. This free living species is active at night, and in daytime is found hidden in suture of corals or rocks.

General distribution. Indo-Pacific.

Remarks. Okuno (1997) in his key stated that there is corneous spine on coxa of first and third pereiopods, while material of the present study bear no that kind of projection. Thanks to Sammy De Grave to examine some of the specimens deposited in OUMNH, some small specimens deposited in OUMNH bear no projection. Therefore, this is highly recommended to do more studies in order to decide if the materials of this study belong to a different species or not.
