Summary

Description
English: An individual of Dallocardia muricata (Linnaeus, 1758)[1] - Cardium muricatum Linnaeus, 1758[2] - scientific name unaccepted - Trachycardium muricatum (Linnaeus, 1758)[3] - scientific name unaccepted - seashell from Brazil; Peres beach, Ubatuba; northern coast of São Paulo state (april 25, 2000).
Português: A espécie de molusco bivalve Dallocardia muricata (Linnaeus, 1758)[4], ex Cardium muricatum Linnaeus, 1758[5]; Trachycardium muricatum (Linnaeus, 1758)[6], está distribuída da Carolina do Norte, nos Estados Unidos, até o Golfo de San Matias, na Argentina, passando pela Colômbia[7], Venezuela (no Mar do Caribe) e por toda a costa brasileira.

É encontrada em litorais arenosos e lamacentos, embaixo de pedras; sendo uma espécie comestível e denominada, popularmente, "mija-mija".

Eurico Santos cita que tal denominação provém da singularidade deste animal lançar água em sua marcha para o mar, quando exposto na maré baixa; citando ainda que pode ser denominado "tamati" e, na Bahia, "rala-coco", por causa de sua concha dotada de sulcos com pequenas elevações pontuais, em algumas áreas. A denominação técnica "muricatum", de sua espécie, provém de "muricado"; ou seja, coberto de curtos acúleos cônicos.[8]
