Williamia radiata nutata is a subspecies of small sea snail or saltwater limpet with a lung, a marine pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Siphonariidae, the marine pulmonate limpets. [1]
In biological classification, the term subspecies refers to one of two or more populations of a species living in different subdivisions of the species' range and varying from one another by morphological characteristics. A single subspecies cannot be recognized independently: a species is either recognized as having no subspecies at all or at least two, including any that are extinct. The term is abbreviated subsp. in botany and bacteriology, ssp. in zoology. The plural is the same as the singular: subspecies.
