Distribution and conservation status
_(15301058467).jpg)
B. brookei has been recorded from Borneo and the other three from the tropical forests of Indo-China: all with very local distributions. The four species listed below also all appear to be endangered, primarily due to habitat loss but exacerbated by over-collecting.
Species
The World Register of Marine Species lists:
- Bertia brookei (Adams & Reeve, 1848)
- Bertia cambojiensis (Reeve, 1860)
