Puncturella larva is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.[2]
Taxonomy
The species was originally described by the American malacologist William Healey Dall in 1927 as Emarginula (Rimula) larva, in his account of small shells dredged off the southeastern United States by the fisheries steamer Albatross.[3] It was later transferred to the genus Puncturella. The genus Cranopsis, under which the species has also been listed (as Cranopsis larva), was synonymised with Puncturella by Cunha and colleagues in 2019.[4]
Description
The size of the shell reaches 3 mm.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Georgia, USA.
