Remarks. This species is easily distinguishable from its two Persian Gulf congeners by the strongly projecting posterolateral angles of the telson, which forms a spine-shaped tooth. Banner & Banner (1975) described the variations in the posterolateral corners of the telson of Australian specimens. Such variations were not seen in the Persian Gulf specimens.
