Description

Arcotheres Manning, 1993

Type species. Pinnotheres palaensis Bürger, 1895, subsequent designation by Manning, 1993.

Remarks. Arcotheres Manning, 1993, currently contains 27 species from the Indo-West Pacific, all of which are associated with bivalves (Ng et al., 2008, 2017; Trivedi et al., 2018a). The identities of many of these species, however, remain unclear, and the genus will need to be revised in the future (Ahyong & Ng, 2007; Ng et al., 2017).
