Description

The shell is limpet-shaped, non-spiral, oblong-ovate and flattened. The shell is bilaterally symmetrical when adult. The apex is either subcentral or posterior, and either remaining as a minute recumbent spiral or lost in the adult shell. The ovate aperture is very large and internally brilliantly iridescent or almost deprived of nacre.[3][4]

Distribution

The species of this marine genus occurs in the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, Mauritius, New Caledonia, French Polynesia and in the Pacific Ocean.

Species

Species within the genus Broderipia include:

gollark: If you're deserializing into a defined data structure instead of something more like a syntax tree, it can just reject those.
gollark: No idea. I don't think I've ever needed or seen that honestly?
gollark: If you use DD/MM/YYYY AutoBotRobot queues your reminder at midnight UTC then, if you use YYYY-MM-DD it uses the current time but the provided date.
gollark: But you do need dates fairly often, and this makes it *consistent* between implementations.
gollark: For example, as well as the time-duration-type thing ("5y2mo3w" etc) it actually supports DD/MM/YYYY as well as some weird backward thing because it uses an external library for it too.
