Chiton cinereus Montagu, 1803 (non Linnaeus, 1767) = Leptochiton asellus ( Gmelin, 1791 ) SD by Gray (1847) . Genus distribution. Worldwide, Carboniferous–Recent, intertidal– 7657 m . Remarks. Sigwart et al. (2011) demonstrated that Leptochiton is not monophyletic based on molecular analyses of three genes; accordingly Leptochiton s.s . is restricted to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean. I here use Leptochiton s.l . according to the traditional morphological concept.
