Limopsis friedbergi Glibert & van de Poel, 1965 |
Central Mediterranean (Pleistocene, if however pygmaea Philippi is a true synonym) to Canarias (extant), Madeira… On the continental shelf edge and the upper slope. Original taxon: Limopsis anomala friedbergi. 200m deep, in the Strait of Gibraltar. 2,5mm. |
The main conchological differences with the other small species of Limopsis in the Mediterranean are: 1- the valves are more globose; 2- the inner margin is regularly crenulated. The shell of friedbergi differs from that of tenuis Seguenza by a more rounded shape; from that of angusta Jeffreys by a smaller size, a weaker sculpture and thinner walls. |
