Whitecap limpet Acmaea mitra, copyright Mary Jo Adams.

Belongs within: Patellogastropoda.

The Acmaeidae are a group of conical limpets found in the North Pacific. Living members of the family have a radula with three pairs of uniform lateral teeth (Nakano & Ozawa 2004). The type species of the family, Acmaea mitra, has a white, nearly smooth shell with a central apex (Knight et al. 1960).
