English term or phrase: lamp shell
SHELLFISH
Many invertebrates make use of a pair of hard shells (valves) which protect them from predators and from drying out when not in water. This adaptation is commonly seen in filter-feeding molluscs called bivalves. One other group (called brachiopods) have hit upon the same armoured lifestyle. Of the animals shown here, the lamp shell is an example of a brachiopod.

Lamp shell: ho trovato "conchiglia di lampada" ma non so se la fonte è sicura. Oppure si potrebbe lasciare il nome latino (Lingula anatina). In generale in italiano viene tradotto con brachiopode, ma in questo caso non va bene altrimenti questa parola la si ritrova due volte nella stessa frase. Consigli?
Grazie!

Io ho usato il nome latino, mettendo però solo Lingula e indicando quindi il genere, non la specie.
