Notoacmea potae Nakano, Marshall, Kennedy & Spencer, 2009 [1] | |
Notoacmea potae is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lottiidae, one of the families of true limpets. [2] It was first identified using DNA sequence analysis in 2009.
This species, like other true limpets, has a fleshy body and hard, protective shell. The shell of N. potae is approximately 8.80 mm long, with a height 40% of its length. The shell has a radial color pattern, with differing shades of cream and dark brown. [2]
N. potae has been discovered in shallow coastal inlets across both the north and south islands of New Zealand. [2]
