Abstract

The present contribution reports on a small collection of caridean shrimps from Qatar. Six species are reported upon, three of which are new additions to the caridean fauna of the Persian Gulf, also representing the first records for the crangonid genus Philocheras and the family Pandalidae from the area. An annotated checklist of species known to date from the Persian Gulf is provided, totalling 59 species.
