摘要

Ergalatax junionae 110111e110V11111 is proposed as replacementname for Mornla inarten.s.i Dall, 1923, from the Gulf of Omanand the Persian Gulf. The latter name is a junior secondary11011.10I1V11 of Pentadactylus martensi Schepman, 1892, from theRed Sea, of which E. obseora Houart, 1996, is here consideredas a junior svnonym. Ergalatax junionae Women novum is com-pared with Ergalatax martensi (Schepman) and E inargariti-cola (Broderip, 1833). The geographical distribution of E.jurlionar and E martensi is updated and the introduced Medi-terranean species is identified as E. junionae.
