Patella
Taxonomy
Patella was named by Linnaeus (1758) [Sepkoski's age data: K Albi R]. It is extant. Its type is Patella vulgata.
It was assigned to Gastropoda by Helbling (1779); to Patellogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Patellidae by Ladd (1966), Kase (1984), Kensley and Pether (1986), Wilson (1993), van den Hoek Ostende et al. (2002), Bouchet et al. (2005); and to Patellinae by Knight et al. (1960), Pacaud and Le Renard (1995), Tessier et al. (2004), Robin et al. (2016).
