Hello All:

I found two limpets on Tegula funebralis in
San Francisco Bay back in 2004 (yes, I'm
that far behind in my cataloging). One is
high-conic in shape like Notoacmaea asmi,
but has a white ray on both sides that forms
a "V" when viewed from above. The other
is low-conical with white spots, and is
probably a juvenile of one of the larger
limpet species.

My question is about the one with the
white rays: is N. asmi always solid
black?

2nd question: Is N. asmi now thought to
be in the genera Lottia or Collisella?

Thanks,

Andrew Vik
