Abstract
A new chiton species, Lepidochitona granpoderi sp. nov., is described from the Atlantic coast of Morocco. It differs from other congeners in having 5–7 very short vestiges of ribs converging apically on the dorsal girdle corpuscules and longitudinal rows of granules converging to jugum in the central and antemucronal areas of the valves.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
