The present paper uses shell morphology and DNA sequences to demonstrate <i>Saccostrea scyphophilla</i> (Péron &amp; Lesueur) and <i>S. mordax </i>(Gould) are distinct species. A neotype is designated for <i>S. scyphophilla</i>. Synonyms are <i>Saxostrea amasa</i> Iredale, <i>Ostrea mordax</i> var. <i>cornucopiaeformis</i> Saville-Kent and provisionally <i>Ostrea forskali</i> var. <i>sueli</i> Jousseaume, while <i>Saccostrea mordoides </i>Cui <i>et al. </i>is a synonym of <i>S. mordax</i>. The tropical oyster reef formed by <i>S. scyphophilla</i> at Point Quobba, Western Australia, is the first recorded reef constructed by this species. The present paper provides a basis for further work elucidating the species of <i>Saccostrea</i> in the Indo-West Pacific region.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Clarifying the identities of <i>Saccostrea scyphophilla</i> (Péron & Lesueur, 1807) and <i>S. mordax </i>(Gould, 1850) (Bivalvia: Ostreidae) from the Indo-Pacific","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-05-05 01:42:00.732805","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"16S, COX1, Indo-Pacific","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2026,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-04-28","DateCreate":"2026-04-28","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.11646/zootaxa.5799.1.1"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":438892,"PubliDate":2026,"Pagination":"1-31","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"5799","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":57347,"SerRR":"Zootaxa.
