| Notes | The subfamily Lancinae is made up of relatively large freshwater limpets. In 1988, a new species of Lanx was discovered at Banbury Springs, Idaho. This species has also been found in neighboring springs in the Snake River system. This paper describes the new Lanx as a new genus and species and examines genetic relationships among all these freshwater limpet species in the western United States. The study shows relatively high genetic differences between Lanx species, and notes that “only one lancine species is present in each river system” with a few exceptions (p.120). The species present in the Umpqua River is Lanx alta, the highcap lanx. |
