Material examined — Mayotte KUW 2009, st. 26c, Mutsumbatsou reef flat, coll. Bouchard 03/08/2008, 1 F juv. 7.6 x 11.9 mm, MNHN-IU-2009-2627.
Other records — Xanthias lamarckii - Serène, 1984: 195, fig. 112, pl. XXVII B, Europa, Madagascar ; Comoros (Anjouan) intertidal, 1 F 9.1 x 14.4 mm, MNHN-B6650. - Coll.

Remarks — This species is represented only by a juvenile in Mayotte KUW collection but Serène (1984) considers that this "l'espèce la plus commune du genre". The specimen from Mayotte is completely decolorated because of preservation and it is replaced herein on Figure XX by a specimen collected at Europa Island, Mozambique channel, in 2011 (cf. Poupin et al., 2013b) with better remain of coloration.
