The molecular phylogenetic trees indicated that Chitonida was composed of four clades, of which two clades formed Acanthochitonina and corresponded to Mopalioidea and Cryptoplacoidea, respectively, and the other clades formed Chitonina. In the radula, the shapes of the central and centro-lateral teeth and the petaloid process varied greatly among species or genera and were useful for the identification of particular species or genera. The presence of accessory and petaloid processes and the cusp shape were relatively conserved and useful for recognizing particular genera or even suborders. In the valves, four to six shell layers were found at the section, but the ventral mesostracum was not observed in Acanthochitonina. The shell microstructures in the ventral sublayer of the tegmentum varied at suborder, but those in the other layers were almost constant. The megalaesthete chamber type varied at superfamily and was helpful to identify particular families or superfamilies. The characteristics of the shell layers and shell microstructures appear to be a synapomorphy shared by the members of Acanthochitonina. The classification within Chitonina needs to be reexamined because the variations of the cusp shape and megalaesthete chamber type were relatively large and did not correspond to the current classification. <i>Callochiton</i> formed a sister group with Chitonida and would be equally closely related to Chitonina and Acanthochitonina because of possessing a mosaic of characteristics from both.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Radula and shell microstructure variations are congruent with a molecular estimate of shallow-water Japanese chitons","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-11 01:33:05.230185","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-10-09","DateCreate":"2023-10-09","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001086299400007","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.2108/zs220060"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":367926,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"390-403","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"40","Issue":"5","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":44094,"SerRR":"Zoological Science.
