Extract

The marine gastropod Capulus ungaricus (L.) is found on rocks and shells, and is known often to associate with filter-feeding lamellibranchs, particularly frequenting beds of Pecten maximus (L.), Chlamys opercularis (L.) and Modiolus modiolus (L.). It has also been found on the shells of living Turritella communis Risso (Jones, 1950, unpublished) and on the superior part of the calcareous tubes of Protula intestinum Lam. (Lo Bianco, 1888).
