Acmaea (limpet)
Taxonomy
Acmaea was named by Eschscholtz (1830) [Sepkoski's age data: Tr Nori R Sepkoski's reference number: 909]. It is extant.
It was reranked as Patella (Acmaea) by Middendorff (1849).
It was assigned to Patella by Middendorff (1849); to Patellogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Acmaeidae by Clark and Arnold (1923), Stewart (1927), Nagao (1928), Durham (1944), Knight et al. (1960), Weisbord (1962), Hickman (1980), Kase (1984), Todd (2001) and Stilwell et al. (2004); to Acmaeinae by Sohl (1964), Pacaud and Le Renard (1995) and Bouchet et al. (2005); and to Lottiidae by Kurihara and Kase (2008).
