Abstract
A new species of porcellanid crab, Petrolisthes tuerkayi n. sp., is described from
the Persian Gulf. The new species is closely related to P. rufescens Heller, 1861,
but is easily distinguishable by having three or four large spines distally on the
posterior margin of the carpus of chelipeds, whereas the posterior margin of the cheliped
merus in P. rufescens is unarmed.
