Patelle est un mot ambigu en français, servant à désigner diverses espèces de gastéropodes ayant généralement une coquille de forme grossièrement conique et vivant sur les estrans rocheux. D'origine savante, le terme « patelle » a eu autrefois une signification plus large que de nos jours. Il tend aujourd'hui à supplanter les appellations vernaculaires locales ou régionales (« arapède » en Méditerranée, « birinic », « bernique » ou « brenique » en Bretagne, « jambe » en Charente-Maritime ...)
Patella ulyssiponensis, common name the rough limpet, or China limpet is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Patellidae, one of the families of true limpets. Despite its common name, the China limpet is found throughout the Eastern North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Compared with the common limpet, Patella vulgata, the rough limpet has a similar shell (maximum size 50mm long x 40 mm wide x 20 mm high, apex closer to the front of the animal/ anterior than to the back/ posterior) but with radiating ridges that are finer and which alternate 1-ridge/…
