Etymology: Rhynchostracion: Greek, rhingchos = snout + Greek, ostrakon = a little shell (Ref. 45335). More on author: Bloch.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
; marien rifbewoner; diepteverspreiding 2 - 80 m (Ref. 1602). Tropical; 19°N - 20°S
Western Pacific: Sri Lanka (Ref. 1550) and Sumatra to Fiji, north to the Philippines; Palau and Truk in Micronesia. Matsuura 1999, pers. comm. strongly doubts its distribution in the southern GBR (as reported in Lieske & Meyers 1994, Ref. 9710) and does not know of any reliable record of this species from East Africa.
