Iothia emarginuloides is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lepetidae, one of the families of true limpets. This species was previously known as Iothia coppingeri.
Description
I. emarginuloides is a small, broadly ovate, cap-shaped limpet with a length of up to 5.5 mm (0.22 in) and width of 4.5 mm (0.18 in). The apex is towards the front end and is rather acute but does not curl over. The shell is thin, and has fine sculptured lines radiating from the apex. There are also irregular, concentric growth rings. The margin is smooth apart from the fine crenelations produced by the radial sculpturing. This limpet is a dirty white colour, with a few greyish concentric bands.[2]
Distribution
I. emarginuloides is known from Antarctica (the Weddell Sea) and southern Chile.[3] Its distribution is probably circum-Antarctic, with its known range extending from the Kerguelen Islands to the Strait of Magellan area.[4] All records are from water shallower than 2,500 m (8,200 ft).[2]
