Lepidochitona granpoderi sp. nov. (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) from the Atlantic coast of Morocco
Zoosystematica Rossica, 2022 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.
