Abstract

A new species of Vellumnus Ng, 2010 (Pilumnidae) is described from coral debris in the Persian Gulf. It differs from its closest congeners by the carapace sculpture, presence of two fissures on the supraorbital margin, the structure of the frontal lobes that are continuous with the inner-orbital angle, and the pattern of the granules on the outer surface of the chela.
