Description

Haliotis rugosa pustulata Reeve, 1846

Haliotis pustulata Reeve, 1846: pl. 15, sp. 52. G.B. Sowerby (II), 1882: 28, pl. 440a, fig. 112. Lamy, 1909: 333. Kilburn, 1972: 391. Talmadge, 1974: 412. Kaicher, 1981: card 2842. Jacks, 1983: fig. 4. Muller, 1986. Cortie, 1998: 9, fig. H6. Geiger, 2000: 73, figs 14, 17–20. Geiger & Poppe, 2000: 73, pl. 17. Pickery & Verbinnen, 2004: 20, figs 1–21. Steyn & Lussi, 2005: 10, no. 6. Geiger & Owen, 2012: 113, pl. 50 (further references). Type loc.: unknown; holotype in NHM (NHMUK 1950.3.16.64).

Haliotis bistriata (non Gmelin, 1791 = H. tuberculata Linnaeus, 1758)— Barnard, 1963a: 307.

Haliotis (Sulculus) pustulata — Kilburn, 1972: 391.

Haliotis rugosa pustulata — Owen, 2013: 189, figs 3.4–6, 3.14.

Distribution. East Africa, from the Red Sea and Yemen south to central KwaZulu-Natal (Shaka’s Rock) and Madagascar (Owen 2013); living shallow subtidal and near-shore reefs. Introduced to the Mediterranean.

Notes. Although long considered a distinct species, the latest opinion (Owen 2013) is that pustulata should be considered the continental subspecies of the Mascarene H. rugosa. The similarity and possible synonymy of the two taxa was earlier noted by Herbert (1990a).
