Lima is a genus of file shells or file clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Limidae, the file shells, within the subclass Pteriomorphia.[1] [2]
The shells are obliquely trigonal, and strongly radially ribbed, the ribs scabrous to spinose.
The soft parts are bright red and many tentacles protrude from the open valves.
