Description

Lepidochitona Gray, 1821

Type material and locality. Chiton marginatus Pennant, 1777 = Chiton cinereus Linnaeus, 1767: 1–532, accepted as Lepidochitona cinerea (Linnaeus, 1767). Norwegian sea.

Based on molecular studies, Eernisse (2007) reestablished the genus Cyanoplax and assigned the Lepidochitona species of the West Coast of the United States to a lineage independent from the Atlantic and Mediterranean species. Accordingly, Lepidochitona beanii (from the Gulf of California) and the Caribbean Lepidochitona species are retained as members of the genus Lepidochitona, and the genus Nutallina has been identified as the sister group to Cyanoplax.
