Description
Wall white, conical, made of four compartments; rostro-carinal diameter to 4 mm; external surface covered with coral skeleton. Rostrum wider than carina; orifice diamond shape, slightly tapered at rostral and carinal ends; rostro-carinal axis of orifice about one-quarter of that of wall. Internal surface of wall smooth, sutures clearly discernible; sheath forming inner lamina, extending halfway to basal edge, growth ridges on sheath. Marginal radial septa tall, denticulate, inserting in grooves of basis. Basis white, solid, thin, shallow; longitudinal ridges slightly sulcate separated by narrower grooves; ridges with a series of coarse parallel growth lines.
Opercular valves white; scutum triangular, growth ridges on outer surface coarse, crossed by fine striae, ridges forming teeth on occludent margin; adductor ridge, adductor pit and rostral tooth absent; articular ridge about three-quarters length of tergal margin; pit for lateral depressor at basi-tergal angle.
Distribution
Singapore, Indonesia, Great Barrier Reef, French Polynesia.
Remarks
Cantelius tredecimus was described by Kolosváry (1947) from Tridactphyllia lactuca from Singapore. Ogawa and Matsuzaki (1992) mentioned this species only from unidentified Montipora View in CoL , which agrees with the present findings. Achituv (unpublished) surveyed the coral collection of the Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, which is based mainly on corals from Indonesia and found C. tredecimus on 20 species of corals from 13 genera, including Montipora View in CoL .
