Synalpheus coutierei A. H. Banner, 1953 View in CoL
Persian Gulf. UAE [ Nobili (1906a) as Synalpheus biunguiculatus (Stimpson, 1860) ], Iran (present study), Banner & Banner (1981) recorded this species from an unknown locality.
Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Dustku).
General distribution. Indo-West Pacific: East Africa, Suez Canal, Red Sea, Djibouti, Persian Gulf, southern India, Thailand, Philippines, Australia ( Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland), and throughout the rest of the West Pacific, but not the Hawaiian Is. and Japan.
Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal, associated with sponges. Shallow subtidal to 77 m ( Chace 1988).
Remarks. The name Synalpheus coutierei was proposed by Banner (1953) in replacement of Synalpheus biunguiculatus (Stimpson, 1860) , which had been described based on material from Ambon, Indonesia. The few specimens examined for the present study agree well with published descriptions and illustrations ( Banner 1953: 36; Banner & Banner 1966: 42–45, fig. 20a–i; Banner & Banner 1975: 343–345, fig. 18a–i; Chace 1988: 77).
