Codakia tigerina (Linaeus, 1758) View in CoL
Habitat (inferred). Burrowing in sand and often associated with sea-grass beds from low in the littoral and sublittoral.
Distribution. Valves, mostly worn, have been found at scattered localities.
Remarks. Neither of the large Codakia species was found alive, and the scarcity of shells suggests that both are rare in the lagoon. This contrasts with other Mascarene Islands where Codakia species are prominent components of sea-grass bed communities.
Range. Indo-Pacific [R/M/S].
Figured specimen. 45.5 mm, NMW.Z.1999.073.00024.
