The Apex (mollusc), apex is erect or anteriorly inclined. The shells may exhibit radial ridges or concentric growth lines.

Acmaea Mitra
''Acmaea mitra'', common name the whitecap limpet, is a species of sea snail or true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Acmaeidae, one of the families of true limpets. Taxonomy ''Acmaea mitra'' was placed in the family Acmaeidae for many years, but based on molecular phylogeny evidence by Nakano & Ozawa (2007) Acmaeidae was synonymized with Lottiidae. However, this synonymy was subsequently found incorrect, having been the result of contaminated samples, and ''Acmaea mitra'' and a related species, ''Niveotectura pallida'' form a well-supported clade outside of the Lottiidae, and Acmaeidae was re-established. ''Acmaea mitra'' is the type of the genus ''Acmaea''Gofas, S. (2009). Acmaea Eschscholtz, 1833. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2009) World Marine Mollusca database.

Acmaeidae
Acmaeidae is a family of sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Lottioidea and the subclass Patellogastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2014). Acmaeidae Forbes, 1850. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=114 on 2014-10-31 Taxonomy Listed as valid family in Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) but this classification revised following the molecular phylogeny of Nakano & Ozawa (2007). Acmaeinae, including ''Erginus'', was found to be paraphyletic. However, this synonymy was subsequently found incorrect, having been the result of contaminated samples, and ''Acmaea mitra'' and a related species, ''Niveotectura pallida'' form a well-supported clade outside of the Lottiidae, and Acmaeidae was re-established.
