Description
Brissus latecarinatus (Leske 1788)
FIGURE 18A–D
Comments
This species is abundant in Hong Kong waters, particularly in sheltered and coral habitats, where its skeleton can easily be found on the seabed. Denuded tests of this species have been collected from Xisha Island but the species is considered “scarce” in Southern China (Liao & Clark 1995). Chao (2000) documented this species from Taiwan.
Jespersen et al. (2004) reported three new species and two new genera of galeommatoid bivalves living commensally on the periproct of this species in Thailand.
Occurrence/Distribution

Outside Hong Kong. Taiwan, Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island, Costa Rica (Pacific) to the Red Sea and Mauritius through the Malaysian Archipelago and the Marquesas and Andaman Islands, and in Australia from the northeast to Ningaloo Reef on the west coast to the Arabian Sea, East Africa. 0–45 m.
