Lepidozona retiporosa (Carpenter 1864)

This closeup of the mantle shows the scattered, oval scales on the dorsal surface, and the spicules which are visible along the mantle margin.

The central areas of the plates have more or less longitudinal rows of shallow pits but the ridges between the pits are not prominent. This is a view of plates 2 (on left) to 6.
