Lottia subrugosa is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lottiidae. It is still designated under its synonyms Acmaea subrugosa or Collisella subrugosa in many textbooks. [1] [2]
Distribution and habitat
This species is found along the coasts of Brazil and Uruguay, mostly in the mid-intertidal zone. [3] It is the most common limpet with large population sizes in the Brazilian midlittoral. It can fill the small gaps in mussel beds dominated by Brachidontes solisianus and Brachidontes darwinianus. [4] They are also very abundant in the regions dominated by the barnacle Tetraclita stalactifera. [5]
Description
The shell size is between 16 and 30 mm
