Sukashitrochus [Sukashitrochus]

Description

Sukashitrochus is a genus of small, marine gastropod mollusks within the family Scissurellidae, commonly known as slit limpets. These gastropods are characterized by their cap-shaped shells, which have a distinctive slit or hole near the shell's apex. This feature is thought to aid in the expulsion of water from the mantle cavity. The members of this genus are found on submerged rocks in shallow waters across various oceans.
