Item description from seller

Examination of museum specimens verified the existence of at least 3 distinct species of the marine gastropod genus Crepidula off the coast of southern Brazil: C. protea, C. plana and C. aculeata. Specimens of C. protea were collected alive by dredging. They carried broods of larvae that appeared ready to be released in the veliger stage. Unlike other Crepidula, the larvae were imbedded in the matrix of the egg capsule material. Other character states distinguishing C. protea and C. plana are discussed, as well as the population structure of C. protea. The distribution of C. protea is limited compared with that of C. plana. 5 pp., 1 figs, 4.
