About Crepipatella dilatata (Lamarck, 1822)
Crepipatella dilatata (Lamarck, 1822) has a maximum recorded shell length of 60 mm. This species has been documented to occur along the coast of Chile, the southern coast of Argentina, and the northern coast of Spain. Because it is morphologically cryptic with two other South American Crepipatella species, DNA sequence data or developmental data is required to confirm the species' identity and collect accurate distribution data. Its recorded depth ranges from a minimum of 0 m to a maximum of 66 m. Crepipatella dilatata commonly lives on mussels and rocky substrate.
