Korte beschrijving Morfologie

Apex near center, irregular ribbed slopes. Some possess a brown colored shell with alternating brown and white checks at the edge. Other colorations of this limpet exist and can be found in the same area. Both the substrate the limpet lives and its diet determine the color of its shell (Ref. 312).
