Suboval, oblique shell; rounded anterior side; nearly straight posterior side; large ligamental pit occupying most of the hinge line; weak radial riblets vanishing towards the anterior side and almost absent over the umbonal area. Prodissoconch: shell type ST-2A; P-2 length about 240 µm; equilateral triangular outline; convex profile; P-1 surface rough; P-1/P-2 boundary ill-defined; P-2 with commarginal threads on the later stages; transition to the nepioconch marked by a narrow, flattened lip. Occurrence . Box-corer sample BC72 (1 specimen). Height: 6 mm. Distribution and habitat . Limaria loscombi ranges from Norway and Iceland to West Africa, the Azores, Cape Verde and into the Mediterranean, dwelling on various soft substrates from infralittoral to bathyal depths, often associated with sponges (Nordsieck 1969; Barash & Danin 1992; Poppe & Goto 1993; Oliver et al. 2016). Pérès & Picard (1964) regarded the species as an exclusive characteristic element of DC (coastal detritic bottom) biocoenosis. Fossil record.
