Distribution and habitat . Limatula subauriculata is distributed from Greenland to the Gulf of Mexico, the Canaries and the Mediterranean; it thrives on muddy sand to sandy gravel bottoms in a wide bathymetric range, from shallow infralittoral to about 3200 m depth (Tebble 1966; Nordsieck 1969; Barash & Danin 1992; Poppe & Goto 1993; Pons-Moyà & Pons 1999; Oliver et al. 2016). Mastrototaro et al. (2010) recorded the species already in the Santa Maria di Leuca CWC biotope. Fossil record. Miocene to Recent (Monegatti & Raffi 2001); Pliocene of Italy (Monterosato 1872; Tabanelli 2008); Pleistocene of Calabria (Barrier et al. 1987) and Sardinia (Di Geronimo & Bellagamba 1985). : Published as part of Negri, Mauro Pietro & Corselli, Cesare, 2016, Bathyal Mollusca from the cold-water coral biotope of Santa Maria di Leuca (Apulian margin, southern Italy), pp. 1-97 in Zootaxa 4186 (1) on page 32, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4186.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/165288 : {"references": ["Montagu, G.
