Abstract

The original description of Tegula ignota was based on three shells found on the coast of Totoralillo Sur, northern Chile. Until now, there are no reports of living specimens of the species. The present study redescribes this snail based on shell, radula, epipodium and mantle characteristics observed in living specimens collected from the subtidal zone of La Boca, central Chile. Additionally, we extend the distribution of T. ignota more than 700 km to the south-eastern Pacific with additional material. Molecular analyses based on the 16S ribosomal DNA mitochondrial gene show that T. ignota is most closely related to Tegula atra than other Chilean species of Tegula. Voucher specimens of T. ignota were deposited in the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Chile.
