Abstract
Thus, to the best of our knowledge this finding represents the first record of P. simulans in the Republic of Maldives and it confirms that this species is more widespread throughout the Indian Ocean than previously thought. Considering the paucity of studies regarding this genus, further investigations are needed to clarify its habitat preferences, distribution and diversity.
