Atergatis laevigatus A. Milne-Edwards, 1865 View in CoL
Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia ( Apel 2001), UAE ( Apel 2001), Iran [ Heller (1861) as Atergatis roseus (Rüppel, 1830) ; Stephensen (1946) as Atergatis integerrimus (Lamarck, 1818) ; present study].
Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Shid-Deraz) . Bushehr Province: Bushehr (Jofreh), Kharg I .
General distribution. Northwestern Indian Ocean: Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Pakistan, Malabar (southwestern India).
Habitat. Sandy intertidal to shallow subtidal.
Remarks. Apel (2001) examined the specimens recorded by Heller (1861) and Stephensen (1946) and identified them as A. laevigatus . He stated that A. roseus does not occur in the Persian Gulf and in adjacent waters, and the record of A. roseus by Tirmizi & Ghani (1996) from Pakistan is more likely a misidentification of A. laevigatus .
