Diversity[2]
3 species

Rhodacmea is the type genus of the subfamily Rhodacmeinae.[3]

Anatomy

These animals have a pallial lung, as do all pulmonate snails, but they also have a false gill or "pseudobranch". This serves as a gill, which is necessary as, in their non-tidal habitat, these limpets never reach the surface for air.

Species

Species in the genus Rhodacmea include:

gollark: If you were to divert it, you would deprive the world of the loop-da-loop unless you divert more trollies.
gollark: This is good, as it gets you the loop-da-loop, which is totally sick.
gollark: Probably. I think it's required by some law or other, or at least they decided to interpret it that way.
gollark: It is apparently blocked as over-18 content, which makes a slight bit of sense because it could let you access some indirectly, but seriously why.
gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
