Acar revelata ( Deshayes, 1863)

Habitat. Attached by a moderate byssus to the undersides of dead coral blocks.

Distribution. Has been found only once at 10 m in the channel south of Ile Hermitage.

Remarks. This is a large species to be included in the genus Acar but its coarse ribbing and lack of a bristly periostracum separate it from the genus Barbatia . It is the A. caelata of Reeve, 1844, which is a preoccupied name.

Range. Western Indian Ocean [R/M].

Figured specimen. 53.1 mm, NMW.Z.1999.073.00007.
