Description:
The family Porcellanidae is a group of crab-shaped anomurans and there are a series of studies on this group in the Persian Gulf. The first report of porcellanid crabs from the Persian Gulf was by Heller (1861); who referred incidentally to two species of this group in a discussion of Crustacea of the Red Sea. Nobili (1905) published preliminary diagnoses of new species of decapod crustaceans from the Persian Gulf and provided a complete account of them, including eight species of Porcellanidae, published in the following year (Nobili, 1906). Haig (1966) recorded 12 porcellanid species from the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea based on the collection of the Danish Expedition (1937–38). Apel (2001) reviewed the previous records of decapod crustaceans from the Persian Gulf and its adjacent waters, and listed 19 porcellanid species including an unnamed species.
