GENUS NEOLEPETOPSIS MCLEAN, 1990 View in CoL

Type species: Neolepetopsis gordensis McLean, 1990 (by original designation).

Diagnosis: Small-sized (<10 mm) neolepetopsid limpets with coarse, typically clathrate shell sculpture. Shell interior with transparent areas. Radula with sturdy central rachidian; five or seven cusped teeth, usually well mineralized for Neolepetopsidae ( Warén & Bouchet, 2001; McLean, 2008). Shell profile typically low, flat limpet-form, but may be constricted by the substrate type and range from flat to tall in some species ( McLean, 1990).
