Zeidora reticulata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.[1][2]
Description
[edit](Original description) This species differs from Zeidora calceolina in being much more convex, less obtuse anteriorly, and in the fissure being narrow and deeply incised. The sculpture, moreover, is very different, the surface being finely reticulate instead of widely cancellate.[3]
Distribution
[edit]This marine species occurs off Japan.
