UAE ( Nobili, 1906a ), Iran ( Stephensen 1946 ). Alcock (1989) described this species from the Persian Gulf, without giving an exact locality. Iran . Hormozgan Province : Kish I. General distribution. Endemic: Persian Gulf . Habitat. Stephensen (1946) recorded the present species from a sandy beach of Kish I., while Nobili’s (1906a) material came from Arzanah I. ( UAE ) from an oyster bank at 20- 30 m . Remarks. The genus Actumnus is represented by six species in the Persian Gulf ( Apel 2001 ; Naderloo & Ng 2011 ), of which A. tesselatus is the only one which has been recorded from the intertidal zone. Stephensen (1946) erroneously mentioned St. 54 of Qais I. (Kish I.) as locality for a single specimen of the species, whereas stations 41-42 of the Danish Expedition were in Kish I., and Station 54 was in Qeshm I. A new representative of the genus has recently been discovered from the Iranian waters of the Persian Gulf, namely Actumnus simplex Rathbun, 1911 , which was redescribed by Naderloo & Ng (2011) .
