The Fissurellidae from the Philippines with the Description of 26 New Species

About this book

The Fissurellidae (commonly known as keyhole limpets or slit limpets, is a family of limpet-like sea snails) of the Philippines have been briefly documented in the Philippine Marine Mollusks book series. During the last years, the authors obtained much material from tangle netting and fishing operations as deep as 400 m. Because of the considerable number of new species and a few nomenclatural changes they here offer – for the time being – a comprehensive treatment of the Philippine Fissurellidae. A total of 26 new species are described.
