sediment, subtidal (
Attaran-Fariman & Beygmoradi 2016
).
Persian Gulf and Gulf of
Oman
:
Tis (16) (ibid.).
Indian Ocean:
n/a
Remarks:
As discussed below, the specimens erroneously reported as
Amphipholis squamata
by
Attaran-Fariman & Beygmoradi (2016)
belong in the genus
Amphiodia
instead. The specimen figured by them has a fully scaled disc, as is found in
A.
microplax
, with a sharp edge that possibly bears spiny processes that are typical for
A
.
microplax
and
A
.
obtecta
(
Stöhr
et al.
2010
)
. However, the figures are not detailed enough to allow assignment of the specimen to a species.
