Distribution: Distribution uncertain, probably widespread [details] Taxonomy: The Littorina saxatilis complex has a great variability; the nomenclature and the systematics are very controversial. L. rudis is a junior synonym of Littorina saxatilis according to Raffaelli (1982). L. tenebrosa is a brackish form of Littorina saxatilis according to Janson & Ward (1985) [details] | |||||||||||||
