22 T. WEHE & D. FIEGE<br />

Regional distribution: Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman.<br />

Remarks: According to HUTCHINGS & MCRAE (1993), this <strong>species</strong> occurs in <strong>the</strong> western<br />

Pacific. FAUVEL’s records from <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman would extend <strong>the</strong> distribution into <strong>the</strong> Indian<br />

Ocean, but since he misidentified this <strong>species</strong> in a former publication, as discussed in HUTCHINGS<br />

& MCRAE (1993), it is also possible that FAUVEL’s specimens from <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>of</strong> Oman were<br />

misidentified.<br />
