Remarks. The monotypic genus Manningis Al-Khayat & Jones,1996 , was described by Al-Khayat & Jones (1996) from the Persian Gulf based on the type species Paracleistostoma arabicum Jones & Clayton, 1983 . This species is very similar to Serenella leachii (Audouin, 1826) , which has been recorded from the southeastern Persian Gulf in UAE ( Al-Ghais & Cooper 1996; Cooper 1997; Apel 2001) and Qatar ( Al-Khayat & Jones 1996). Detailed morphological comparison between the two genera Manningis and Serenella is provided by Ng et al. (2009).
