Italian term or phrase: periwinkle
But most designators are dry and literal: the common rat is, for overkill, Rattus rattus rattus; the two-horned rhino is Diceros;the periwinkle, an inhabitant of nearshore,or littoral,waters,is Littorina littorea.

LITTORINA PERUVIANA
LITTORINA UNIFASCIATA

http://www.marginella.com/list-elizalde.txt


Questa specie atlantica si trova, all\'interno del Mediterraneo, nella sola laguna veneziana, qui arrivata per apporto antropico. La forma rotondeggiante della conchiglia permette di riconoscerla abbastanza agevolmente. Va osservata la totale assenza del canale sifonale. La superficie è corrugata da fini strie di accrescimento e da numerosi solchi spirali, generalmente evidenti, ma talora appena accennati. Il colore è giallo scuro.
Non è comune da reperire: si può trovare con maggior frequenza fra le pietre della zona litorale
