Limatula chilensis sp. nov. A new Limidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia) from northern Chile

Limatula chilensis sp. nov. is described on the basis of shell morphology and soft tissue anatomy. Studied individuals were obtained periodically between June 2008 and January 2009 from sublittoral soft-sediments off Punta Coloso in northern Chile at depths of 22 to 33 m. Shell morphology of the new...
