Loxoglypta clathrata

Description

Loxoglypta clathrata (Deshayes, 1835)

Habitat (inferred). In coral sand, sublittoral.

Distribution. Valves have been found at scattered locations throughout the lagoon.

Remarks. We have very little material, much of which is in poor condition. The rather narrow outline and scissulate sculpture on both valves are, however, indicative of L. clathrata. The shells can be white, rayed or bright pink in colour. This species has been frequently cited as Tellina rhomboides Quoy and Gaimard, 1835.

Range. Indo-Pacific [M/S].

Figured specimen. 16.6 mm, NMW.Z.1955.158.02463.
