Abstract
Abstract Some doubtful taxonomic structure of three mediterranean species of the Genus Chiton (C. olivaceus, C. corallimts and C. phaseolinus) are comparatively examined by means of scanning electron microscope. Radula and aesthetes show rather uniform morphology and so are useless as diagnostic features. Only the upper scales of the girdle appear different enough to be considered an useful character in taxonomic studies.
