Fossil records

This species have been recorded as fossils from the Miocene to the Quaternary (from 15.97 to 0.0 million years ago). [5]

Distribution

This species occurs worldwide including:

Description

The maximum recorded shell length is 180 mm. [7]

Monoplex parthenopeus (Salis Marschlins, 1793) (d\c) Canary Islands. Monoplex parthenopeus (Salis Marschlins, 1793).jpg
Monoplex parthenopeus (Salis Marschlins, 1793) (d\c) Canary Islands.

Habitat

Trawled 40-60 m. off Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Minimum recorded depth is 0 m. [7] Maximum recorded depth is 75 m. [7]

Life cycle

Hairy tritons are notable for having particularly long planktonic periods. The veliger larvae remain in the plankton for nearly 300 days, dispersing as far as 4000 km. [8] This is the longest known larval duration and dispersal distance of any marine invertebrate which occurs along the west coast of North America. [9]
