''Nacella macquariensis'' is a species of true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Nacellidae. It is found on the lower foreshore and in the shallow sub-littoral zone of certain islands in the southern Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean. ==Taxonomy== ''Nacella macquariensis'' was named for Macquarie Island, the type location from which it was first described by Finlay in 1927. At that time there was confusion as to the correct nomenclature of the limpets found on the different sub-Arctic islands in the southern Indian Ocean. The limpet ''Nacella delesserti'' had been described by Hedley in 1916 and it was unclear whether this, and ''Nacella fuegiensis'' (Reeve, 1855) and ''Nacella illuminata'' (Gould, 1846) were in fact different species. Finlay determined that the following names should be accepted and the others discontinued: *''Nacella macquariensis'' – Macquarie Island *''Nacella strigilis'' (H. & J., 1841) – Auckland Island *''Nacella terroris'' (Filhol, 1880) – Campbell Island *''Nacella redimiculum'' (Reeve, 1854) – South Island 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nacella macquariensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
