Remarks. Michaelcallianassa is most easily recognised by the tapering telson with pairs of robust setae on the dorsal surface. Three species are known: M. indica Sakai, 2002 from the Persian Gulf (type locality), Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea (Sakai, 2002, 2005; Robles et al., 2020); M. persica Sepahvand, Momtazi and Tudge, 2020 from the Persian Gulf; and M. sinica Liu and Liu, 2009 from the South China Sea and Singapore ( Dworschak and Anker, 2022). Sepahvand et al. (2020) compared the three species in a table.
