Hi,
 
Concerning Scutus I know of at least one species which lives on the East Coast of
Africa. I collected it in Zanzibar. And if I remember well there is a picture of
this Scutus in Drivas & Jay, Coquillages de les Iles Maurice et de Reunion. (At
the moment I'm not near my bookshelves).
 
That's my 2 cents worth,
 
Erick
