Spelling[edit]

This article is based on a misspelling. I came here looking for the very familiar mossy chiton, Mopalia muscosa, but found only M. mucosa, with one letter s. It's spelled muscosa in all five of my marine reference books. At Encyclopedia of Life under M. mucosa, http://eol.org/pages/4942265/details, the only source cited is Wikipedia; for M. muscosa,http://eol.org/pages/454961/details, there are multiple sources, including a local marine lab and the Smithsonian, with no sign of M. mucosa among its relatives. That species does not exist, but the content here is consistent with M. muscosa.Wildbirdz (talk) 23:32, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
