Description
Acropora macrostoma (Brook, 1891) status revised
Madrepora macrostoma Brook 1891: 464; Brook 1893: 105 * plate 19* fig. B.
Acropora macrostoma (Brook); Crossland 1952. Here removed from synonymy with Acropora tenuis (Dana* 1846) contra Veron and Wallace 1984; 279.
Specimens examined: NHM: 1878.2.4.7 * Madrepora macrostoma holotype * Mauritius; MTQ: G51822* G51823 and G51824* from Baie Aux Tortues* Mauritius.
Remarks: See remarks under A. tenuis (above). This species is currently confirmed to occur only in the type locality of Mauritius. There are literature records from other locations (e.g. Mozambique; Sheppard 1987)* but further research is needed to establish its distribution.
