Abstract

The limpet Lottia cf. borealis, a gastropod species widely distributed in the Far Eastern Seas of Russia, has been subjected to genetic analysis. Three genetic markers (COI, 16S, and 12S) showed no evidence of a distinct genetic structure of this species within the studied part of its range (the southern coast of Primorsky Krai and the coasts of Sakhalin Island and the southern Kuril Islands). A phylogenetic analysis revealed that Lottia cf. borealis is a sister taxon to L. paradigitalis (Fritchman, 1960).
