Abstract

The morphological variability of Ischnochiton (Ischnochiton) rissoi (Payraudeau, 1826) has produced taxonomic discrepancies. In this paper, besides a taxonomic revision, the morphology of valves, perinotum and radula of several specimens of I. (I.) rissoi is studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Although a notable morphological variability is present in this species, however, some common features identify all the varieties as an only taxon.
