Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs and tropical coral reefs.

Occurrences. Ponta do Ouro, Paindane, Pomene, Nuarro and Vamizi Island.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Marshall Islands, Guam (Gosliner et al. 2008), China ( Lin 1983), Australia, Thailand, Maldives ( Yonow 2012), British Indian Ocean Territory ( Yonow et al. 2002), Mauritius Islands, Réunion Island, Mayotte ( Yonow 2012), Seychelles (Gosliner et al. 2008; Yonow 2012), Madagascar, South Africa (Gosliner et al. 2008) and Mozambique.

Remarks. This species is identical to the description and photograph of of P. xishaensis from the British Indian Ocean Territory ( Yonow et al. 2002). Yonow (2012) noticed that in several books, articles and website (e.g. Brunckhorst 1993, Gosliner et al. 2008) P. xishaensis had been wrongly identified as P. striata . After examination of the original illustration of P. striata on Bergh’s (1905, pag. 181), we agree that this morphotype is not P. striata . However, it also differs from the original description of P. xishaensis ( Lin 1983) because the presence of black spots on the sub-margin of the mantle, and black lines on the margin of the secondary gill.
