In the present contribution, intertidal caprellids of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman were studied. Materials were collected, from 40 localities, with a variety of habitats, along the Iranian coasts. Three new species are described including; Metaprotella macoranicus sp. nov, Monoliropus kazemii sp. nov, Pseudaeginella hormozensis sp. nov and Pseudocaprel-linapambanensis is reported from studied area. Metaprotella macoranicus sp. nov., is characterized with clear suture between head and pereonite 1, second peduncle article larger than third ones in first antenna, tuft and three long setae in abdominal appendages and reduced mid-dorsal projections in pereonite 3. Monoliropus kazemii sp. nov., possesses biarticulate abdominal appendage, straight second male gnathopod and setal formula with two apical and two medial setae. The main diagnostic character of Pseudaeginella hormozensis sp. nov., is reduced dorsal projection, bearing mid-lateral projection on pereonite 2-5 and robust pereopod 5 with grasping spines on propodus.
在本论文中，对波斯湾和阿曼湾的潮间带麦秆虫进行了研究。沿着伊朗海岸，从40个具有各种栖息地的地点采集了样本。描述了三个新物种，包括：Macoranicus麦秆虫新种、Kazemii单肢麦秆虫新种、Hormozensis拟艾氏麦秆虫新种，并且在研究区域报道了Pseudocaprellina pambanensis。Macoranicus麦秆虫新种的特征为头部与第1胸节之间有明显的缝线，第一触角的第二柄节大于第三柄节，腹部附肢有簇毛和三根长刚毛，第3胸节的中背突起减少。Kazemii单肢麦秆虫新种具有双节的腹部附肢、直的第二雄颚足以及具有两根顶端刚毛和两根内侧刚毛的刚毛公式。Hormozensis拟艾氏麦秆虫新种的主要诊断特征是背突起减少，第2至5胸节有中侧突起，以及强壮的第5步足，其掌节上有抓握刺。
