Crepidula

Gastropoda - Neotaenioglossa - Calyptraeidae

Taxonomy
Crepidula was named by Lamarck (1799) [Sepkoski's age data: J Oxfo-u R Sepkoski's reference number: 122]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Calyptraea (Crepidula) by d'Orbigny (1841).

It was assigned to Calyptraea by d'Orbigny (1841); to Crepidulidae by Clark and Arnold (1923), Turner (1938), Durham (1944), Woodring (1957), Addicott (1970), Ward and Blackwelder (1987); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Calyptraeidae by Martin (1904), Oostingh (1935), Wenz (1938), Gardner (1947), Moore (1976), Ladd (1982), Squires (1987), Wilson (1993), Squires (1999), Todd (2001), Wienrich (2001), Rosenberg (2005), Landau and Marques da Silva (2010), Matsubara et al. (2010).

Comments: DIMENSIONS & MORPHOLOGY: Based on ten randomly selected figured species. Feeding (Orton, 1991, Nature): The mode of feeding in Crepidula is ithe same in principle as that of the oyster, that is, there is an ingoing and an outgoing current of water kept up in the mantle-cavity, while between the two currents the gill acts as a strainer, retaining even very fine particles of suspended matter, which eventually "by one of two ways" reach the mouth.g
