Probably burrowing in sand or sandy gravels within the lagoon. Distribution. Scattered dead shells and valves have been found occasionally in the lagoon. Remarks. The shells that we have assigned to this species are often confused with juveniles of species of the genus Ctena but they do not have any divergent sculpture and the ligament is not sunken. They agree well with the type figures of Lucina minuata in Deshayes (1863) from Réunion and other shells are present in the Viader collection from Mauritius . Range. Uncertain [R/M]. Figured specimen. 9.7 mm , NMW.Z.2000.086.00044.
