This <str<strong>on</strong>g>study</str<strong>on</strong>g> was made possible thanks to the extensive help of<br />
Dr C.C. Wallace, Museum of Tropical Queensland, Australia.<br />
Without her help the identificati<strong>on</strong>s could not have been<br />
c<strong>on</strong>firmed. We express our gratitude to the administrati<strong>on</strong><br />
of the Hormozgan and Bushehr Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Protecti<strong>on</strong><br />
Agency and the Iranian Offshore Oil Company for their<br />
valuable logistic support during sampling. Mr Hashemi,<br />
University of Tehran, carried out the scanning electr<strong>on</strong><br />
