AS Stenosemus albus:
Diagnosis. Small chitons, 10-15 mm; valves smooth except for growth lines; girdle pebbly appearing, scales cylindrical, juxtaposed; color solid white, usually with black mineral stains. Habitat. On pebbles and dead bivalve shells resting on sand, silt or mud, 10-100 m (below 25 m in the Salish Sea).
Distribution. Arctic, circum-boreal, in the NE Pacific south to the Salish Sea.
Occurrence. Rare to uncommon. Comments. May be confused with white specimens of Lepidozona radians, but distinguished by the unique, cylindrical girdle scales.
