Lucapina philippiana (Finlay, 1930) Philippics Fleshy Limpet
Distribution: Texas; Florida to the Virgin Islands. Size: 15 mm.
Description: Color of base whitish, speckled with rusty brown, interior of shell polished white; shell cap shaped; sculpture reticulate, giving meshlike appearance; side margins almost parallel to each other, margins crenulate with bifid tips from radial ribs; orifice relatively large, round, and positioned posteriorly; forward slope straight, approximately half the size of the convex posterior slope; shell thin and narrow. Habitat: On hard substrate. In Texas found at the FGB. Remarks: L. philippiana is sometimes confused with L. sowerbii; however, L. philippiana is smaller and thinner, and the orifice is subcentral. Rare. Found at depths from shoreline to 110 m (360 ft). See Perez-Farfante (1943b); Jong and Coomans (1988). Synonym: Fissurella elongata Philippi, 1845.
