Reference

Reference information:
The name otter shell is based on a spelling error. The animal has nothing to do with otters. However in the very first publication of this species, the intended name Lutaria (from lutum = silt) was accidentally changed to Lutraria (from Lutra = otter).
Names:
Dut: Otterschelp
Lat: Lutraria lutraria
Eng: Common otter shell
Ger: Ottermuschel
Dan: see Latin
