Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 August 2010
Abstract
Specimens of the fiddler crab Uca (Paraleptuca) sindensis were collected from the intertidal zones of Khor Al-Zubair, Basrah, Iraq in 2009. A literature review on the distribution of this species revealed that this is the first report of U. (P) sindensis from the Iraqi coast and only the third country in which this species has been recorded. A note on the morphological features of this species and a photograph is provided to confirm the identification of the crab.
