A New Limpet (Gastropoda: Lottiidae) of the Patelloida profunda Group from Java, Indonesia, with Notes on Co-occurring Species

Abstract

As a result of field investigation of the limpet fauna in southwestern Java, Indonesia, we have found 9 species of limpets (belonging to 3 families and 4 genera) including a new species. Lottia luchuana (Pilsbry, 1901) and Cellana toreuma (Reeve, 1854) are new records from this area. A new species of the Patelloida profunda group is described in this paper. Members of this group are morphologically similar to each other, but Patelloida javanica n. sp. can be distinguished by the orange colour of the intermediate area between the muscle scar and the shell margin, and by its vague yellow or reddish brown radial streaks.
