Cymodoce brucei sp. nov. is described from the intertidal zone of the Iranian coast of the Oman Sea. This species can be distinguished from all other Cymodoce in the Western Indian Ocean region, by a pleotelson with a large prominent tongue-like projection in midline of the posterior margin. The status of Cerceis manorii Nooruddin, 1965, and Cymodoce spinula Yousuf & Javed, 2001 both from Pakistan (Karachi) is determined and Cymodoce manorii (Nooruddin, 1965) comb. nov. is established.
新种布鲁氏仙虾(Cymodoce brucei sp. nov.)是在阿曼湾伊朗海岸的潮间带发现并描述的。该物种可通过其尾节在其后缘中线处有一个大而突出的舌状突起,与西印度洋地区的所有其他仙虾属物种区分开来。对同样来自巴基斯坦(卡拉奇)的1965年诺鲁丁描述的曼氏仙虾(Cerceis manorii)和2001年优素福与贾韦德描述的刺状仙虾(Cymodoce spinula)的分类地位进行了确定,并建立了新组合曼氏仙虾(Cymodoce manorii (Nooruddin, 1965) comb. nov.)。
