Stenosemus [Stenosemus]

Description
Stenosemus is a genus of chitons that can be recognized by their elongated bodies and distinctive keel along the back. They inhabit rocky substrates in shallow marine environments and are characterized by their ability to blend into their surroundings due to their cryptic coloration. Members of this genus possess eight dorsal plates that are highly sculptured, contributing to their unique texture and appearance.
