Lepetelloidea

Tectisumen clypidellaeformis, from here.

Belongs within: Vetigastropoda.

The Lepetelloidea are a group of small limpets found in deep-sea environments, characterised by an undivided shell muscle and a gill comprising a row of leaflets. The shell is low to steeply conical with the apex central or posterior to the middle and with a round or oval aperture (Knight et al. 1960).
