Scutus is a genus of large sea snails or limpets with the common name "shield shells". These are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.^[1]

Both the common name and the scientific name reflect the fact that the shells of species in this genus resemble a Roman shield.

Description

The animal itself has a large black mantle which usually completely covers the shell, giving the animal a superficially slug-like appearance.

Species

Species within the genus Scutus include:^[2]

Scutus anatinus (Donovan, 1820)
Scutus antipodes Montfort, 1810 - [1]
† Scutus bellardii Michelotti, 1847

Scutus emarginatus (Philippi, 1851)
Scutus forsythi (Iredale, 1937)
Scutus howensis Iredale, 1940
† Scutus mirus Gard, 2020
Scutus olunguis Iredale, 1940
† Scutus petrafixus Finlay, 1930
† Scutus pliopunctatus Lozano-Francisco & Vera-Peláez, 2002
Scutus rueppelli (Philippi, 1851)
Scutus scapha (J.F. Gmelin, 1791) ^[3]
