Remarks.
Arcotheres
Manning, 1993
, currently contains 27 species from the Indo-West Pacific, all of which are associated with bivalves (
Ng et al., 2008
,
2017
;
Trivedi et al., 2018a
). The identities of many of these species, however, remain unclear, and the genus will need to be revised in the future (

Ng et al., 2017
).
