Hormozgan Province:IR14-11 [12 ad., 20 juv.]. Associated species. Cerithidea cingulata , Heleobia dalmatica , Pseudamnicola sp. Remarks. On the base of molecular results, Haase et al. (2010) concluded that Ecrobia grimmi from the mixomesohaline Lake Sawa (Iraq) was possibly transported by migrating birds from the Caspian Sea. The identification of our material of Ecrobia grimmi as well of Heleobia dalmatica was confirmed by using molecular techniques (Martin Haase pers. communication). An analysis of the specimens from NHMW published by Starmuehlner and Edlauer (1957) as Hydrobia acuta shows that these specimens probably belong to Ecrobia grimmi (see Fig. 8c ). Distribution. Caspian Sea; Iraq, Iran.
