Barbatia parva (Sowerby, 1833) View in CoL
Habitat. Attached by a weak byssus to the undersides of rocks and coral rubble blocks.
Distribution. Has been found living only occasionally, but given its small size and camouflaged appearance it may have been overlooked.
Remarks. May be taken for a juvenile of a larger, preceding Barbatia species but it is of a pale brown colour, with soft periostracal hairs and umbos tinged pink to red.
Range. Indo-West Pacific [R/S].
Figured specimen. 15.9 mm, NMW.Z.1999.073.00006.
