Abstract

A new species, Haliotis arabiensis from Oman and United Arab Emirates is described and illustrated with a high resolution photo plate. Three taxa found along the southern and eastern Arabian Peninsula, two in Oman and the United Arab Emirates, Haliotis mariae W. Wood, 1828, and Haliotis unilateralis Lamarck, 1822, and one in Yemen, Haliotis rugosa multiperforata Reeve, 1846, are reviewed and compared with the new species. Three additional plates illustrate the other southern and eastern Arabian Peninsula Haliotis. A fifth plate provides a differential diagnosis of the four taxa.
