Tectura Palacea
''Tectura palacea'', common names the surfgrass limpet or chaffy limpet, also spelled chaffey limpet, is a species of small sea snail, a true limpet, a marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lottiidae. The shell of this small limpet is about 6–10 mm in length and 2–3 mm in width. The shell dimensions are narrow to correspond with the limpet's habitat: the narrow blades of surfgrasses in the genus ''Phyllospadix'', found at low tide levels. This species occurs in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, on the coast of North America, from Vancouver Island, British Columbia to northern Baja California, Mexico.McLean J. H. (1978) ''Marine Shells of Southern California''. Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Museum, Science Series 24, Revised Edition: 1-104. Feeding habits These small limpets graze on the film of microscopic algae that covers the leaf blades of the marine plant ''Phyllospadix''.

Iothia Emarginuloides
''Iothia emarginuloides'' is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lepetidae, one of the families of true limpets. This species was previously known as ''Iothia coppingeri''. Taxonomy The type specimens of ''I. emarginuloides'' (Philippi, 1868) and ''I. coppingeri'' (E.A. Smith, 1881) are very similar in morphology, and were collected only apart; as long ago as 1908 this led to the recognition that they were probably the same species. Despite this, they continued to be treated as two separate species until 2011, when Nakano et al. researched the genus and brought them into synonymy. ''I. emarginuloides'' was described before ''I. coppingeri'', so by the rules of zoological nomenclature, the earlier name took priority. Description ''I. emarginuloides'' is a small, broadly ovate, cap-shaped limpet, with a length of about and width of . The apex of the shell is towards the anterior end, and is rather acute, but does not curl over. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
