Specimens of Limatula sulcata (now synonymised with L. subauriculata) which have been checked seem to be either Limatula gwyni or L. subauriculata. Apparently recorded living in Loch Linnhe (Pearson, 1970), Loch Creran (Gage, 1972) and also from off Arran - these records require checking because of the difficulty in distinguishing between the small Limidae. Specimens found living among stones and shell gravel at the mouth of Loch Sween in 1985 (Smith, 1987d) have been re-identified as L. gwyni. Many old records of 'L. sulcata' which undoubtedly include those of Limatula gwyni. Several lots of material in the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum originally identified as Lima elliptica (L. gwyni) are in fact Limatula sulcata (now L. subauriculata).
