| Notes |
Dimensions: maximum size of 6 mm [details] Distribution: Greenland to Connecticut; Europe [details] Habitat: intertidal and infralittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details] Taxonomy: Nordsieck (1968) and Janssen (1975) both position Lacuna pallidula (Da Costa, 1778) in the genus: Stenotis A. Adams, 1863. However, no convincing arguments for this placement exist and as such we'd rather follow the majority of others in using Lacuna. [details] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
