Obliquely oval, slightly flattened posteriorly, white with light yellow-brown periostracum in radial rows, surface weakly cancellate; interior white, margin denticulate. Florida, Bermuda, Gulf of Mexico, South America (Brazil). Length 9 mm. Note: This species was described as a European fossil; some authors consider the name L. aurita a senior synonym of the Recent western Atlantic species Limopsis paucidentata Dall, 1886, whereas others (including the present authors) recognize both as valid and extant. The left valve of this specimen has been drilled by a predatory gastropod.
