This paper presents the first record of Gray 1870 from the Persian Gulf. This genus has a global distribution and its largest distribution is in the Indo-Pacific region. A single specimen was collected by a local fisherman from south Hengam Island (the north Persian Gulf) from 60-70 m depth. Colony morphology characteristics were examined by stereomicroscope and optical microscope. Descriptions of the colony and other taxonomic characteristics are provided. The colony is unbranched with a height of 12 cm and its basal diameter is approximately 1.63 mm. The sclerites of the coenenchyme comprise a variety of symmetrical double heads and capstan-like forms (0.05-0.11 mm). In the wall of calyces, slightly elongated double heads, capstans and spindles (about 0.08-0.19 mm) are present. Our finding extends the known geographical distribution of this genus in the Indo-Pacific region to the Persian Gulf.
本文展示了1870年格雷(Gray)在波斯湾的首次记录。该属分布于全球,其最大分布区域在印度 - 太平洋地区。一名当地渔民从亨加姆岛南部(波斯湾北部)60 - 70米深处采集到了一个标本。通过体视显微镜和光学显微镜检查了群体形态特征。提供了群体及其他分类特征的描述。该群体无分支,高12厘米,基部直径约1.63毫米。共肉的骨针包括各种对称的双头和绞盘状形态(0.05 - 0.11毫米)。在萼壁中,存在略微拉长的双头、绞盘和纺锤体(约0.08 - 0.19毫米)。我们的发现将该属在印度 - 太平洋地区已知的地理分布范围扩展到了波斯湾。
