Unfortunately, the bodies and most appendages of the all syntypes designated by Coutière and deposited in the collection of MNHN were lost and only one large chela is still deposited. This chela indicated as a lectotype was re-described by Anker &amp; Jeng (2006) with presented diagnosis of the genus. At the same time, new record of this rare species which has been never found since its original description in 1896 as well as the absence of the type specimen are the reasons for presenting this re-description from the Persian Gulf and designation of neotype.</p><p>Coloration. —Not recorded. The species is probably translucent with some reddish tiny chromatophores.</p><p>Habitats. —The described specimens were found on sand-muddy flat bottom, under large boulder, together with large burrowing ghost shrimp Neocallichirus jousseaumei (Nobili, 1904) (Callianasidae) and two echiuran individuals. It was already mentioned that the species could be symbiotic with burrowing ghost-shrimps, sipunculans or echiurans (Coutière 1899). Association with large burrowing callianassid shrimps is characteristic for some alpheids (for example, Anker &amp; Marin, 2009).</p><p>Distribution. —Known only from the northwest part of the Indian Ocean: from Qeshm Island, Iran; Bab al Mandab Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden; from Tadjourah (the Republic of Djibouti) and Perim (off southwestern coast of the Republic of Yemen).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C03687869A47FFFFFF40FE65FD0CA717	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new species is the first record of the genus from the Persian Gulf. The new species can be clearly separated from other species of the genus by deep, curved downward rostrum and the presence of well marked blunt extra-cornea teeth. The new species can be clearly separated from A. platyrhynchus by deeper rostrum and expanded palm nd merus of the major cheliped; from A. dentipes by deeper, curved downward rostrum and well developed endites of maxilla and first maxilliped; from A. brevirostris by deep well developed rostrum, blunt extra-corneal teeth, shorter stylocerite of antenulla and; from A. australis by deeper rostrum, absence of meral ventral spine of third pereiopod, the presence of two spines on ischium of ambulatory pereiopods and broader telson; from A. rubricinctuta by deeper rostrum, the presence of well marked extra-corneal teeth, smooth lateral margin of propodus of major first pereiopod, shorter finger of minor first pereiopod and absence of meral ventral spine of ambulatory pereiopod. The most morphologically similar species is A. dentipes Miya, 1980 known from Japan.</p><p>Coloration. —General body and appendages are yellowish translucent; antennula, distal part of scaphocerite, dorsal margin of carapace and abdominal somites, telson and uropods covered with tiny red chromatophores (Fig. 7).</p><p>Etymology.— This species named after the late PhD student M. Tarahomi who tragically passed away in Iran during field collection in October 2009.</p><p>Habitat.— The specimens were found on sandy soft bottom in cobble/rocky area under large boulder in association with echiurans similar to other species of the genus.</p><p>Distribution. —Presently the species is known from type locality, Qeshm Island, Iran, the Persian Gulf, only.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C03687869A40FFF1FF40FF0DFA5CA63E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
