DOI. 10.21931/RB/2019.04.04.3 Abstract: Vermetid worm shell of Thylacodes decussatus (Gmelin, 1791) belonging to genus Thylacodes Guettard, 1770 under the family Vermetidae collected at Kyaikkhami, Setse, Kawdut, Sitaw and Kabyarwa in Mon coastal area from January to December 2018. A total of 2561 individuals collected from rocky hard substrates, boulders, rock pool, and water-leveled benches of supra-tidal to lower sub-tidal levels. Regarding percentage species composition, September was maximum species composition, and April was minimum species composition. The range of mean was 47.67-28.67 (September-April), and standard deviation was 40.66-18.06 (November-February). Maximum and minimum species abundance were recorded in Kawdut coastal 960 area (792 individuals) and Sitaw coastal area (207 individuals), respectively. Moreover, the habitats, zonal distribution and coiling patterns of worm shells in intertidal and shallow water environments of Mon coastal area were studied in brief. Key words: Composition, worm shells, Vermetidae, abundance, Mon coastal area.
