Lottia subrugosa is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lottiidae. It is still designated under its synonyms Acmaea subrugosa or Collisella subrugosa in many textbooks.[1][2]
This species is found along the coasts of Brazil and Uruguay, mostly in the mid-intertidal zone.[3] It is the most common limpet with large population sizes in the Brazilian midlittoral. It can fill the small gaps in mussel beds dominated by Brachidontes solisianus and Brachidontes darwinianus.[4] They are also very abundant in the regions dominated by the barnacle Tetraclita stalactifera.[5]
The shell size is between 16 and 30 mm
