The distinctness of the species is confirmed by the radula, which 

 has the teeth in about 58 rows, the formula for 29th row being 

 16-22-2-2-22-16. The inner 2-2 represents the rhachidian plates, 

 which are very different from those of T. carpenteri, the inner 

 ones being strap-like, very greatly transversely elongated, while 

 the outer are also elongated. The form of the pleural teeth and 

 uncini is about as in carpenteri, but the pleural teeth are more 

 numerous. The labial disc is characteristic of the genus. 



The Californian species of Triopha may be separated thus. It is 

 doubtless correct to refer Cooper's Triopa catalina to this genus.
