Diagnostic characters. High, oval, and almost equilateral shell; fan-shaped ligamental pit; even radial riblets; distinct median radial furrow on the right valve; strong median rib on the left valve. Prodissoconch: shell type ST- 2D; length about 120 µm; roundish D-shaped outline; convex profile; surface almost smooth; P-2 replaced by narrow shell lip; transition to the nepioconch well marked.
Occurrence. Box-corer samples BC05 (6 specimens), BC11 (1), BC66 (6), BC67 (4), BC71 (6), BC72 (71); cores BC04 (2), BC05 (6), BC21 (14), BC51 (6), BC67 (5), BC72 (20). Maximum height: 6 mm.
Distribution and habitat. Limatula subauriculata is distributed from Greenland to the Gulf of Mexico, the Canaries and the Mediterranean; it thrives on muddy sand to sandy gravel bottoms in a wide bathymetric range, from shallow infralittoral to about 3200 m depth (Tebble 1966; Nordsieck 1969; Barash & Danin 1992; Poppe & Goto 1993; Pons-Moyà & Pons 1999; Oliver et al. 2016). Mastrototaro et al. (2010) recorded the species already in the Santa Maria di Leuca CWC biotope.
Fossil record. Miocene to Recent (Monegatti & Raffi 2001); Pliocene of Italy (Monterosato 1872; Tabanelli 2008); Pleistocene of Calabria (Barrier et al. 1987) and Sardinia (Di Geronimo & Bellagamba 1985).
