Resumen

Se identificaron dos especies de braquiópodos, Discradisca indica (Dall, 1920) y Argyrotheca jacksoni Cooper, 1973, junto con Lingula sp., en material procedente del Golfo Pérsico. Estas especies, junto con las previamente identificadas por Jackson en 1921, Terebratulina retusa (Linnaeus, 1758) y Megerlia truncata (Linnaeus, 1767), y por Emig (1988), Lingula anatina Lamarck, 1819, elevan a cinco el total de especies reconocidas en la región. Los géneros Discradisca y Argyrotheca se dan a conocer por vez primera en el Golfo Pérsico. Las especies estudiadas muestran una relación biogeográfica con las presentes en el océano Índico y en el mar Mediterráneo. La distribución geográfica disjunta observada del género Discradisca, sugiere que se trata de un género que, presente en el antiguo Tetis, ha logrado sobrevivir sólo en determinados refugios mientras que se ha extinguido en los demás.
