Habitat.

Bored in old wood pilings, waterlogged tree trunks, and in driftwood but rarely in astreid corals, in soft rocks, or mangroves Rhizophora stylosa ; from intertidal zones down to 20 m depth ( Huber 2015).

Distribution.

Cosmopolitan ( Huber 2015). Records of fossils from the Middle Miocene to Holocene in Japan, Indonesia, New Hebrides, and Thailand ( Robba et al. 2002).

Record in Thailand.

Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea ( Wells et al. 2021).

Taxonomic remarks and comparisons.

This species is recognised based on the descriptions and figures in Poutiers (1998 a), Robba et al. (2002), and Huber (2010), specifically in having an outer surface bearing a radial groove at the anterior one-third of the shell, sculptured with commarginal ridges that are minutely nodose and anterior to the radial groove with nodes arranged into radial rows.
