Costasiella kuroshimae Ichikawa, 1993

Costasiella kuroshimae, joka tunnetaan suomennettuna myös nimillä "lehtilisko" ja "merilammas", on pussikielikotiloiden lahkoon kuuluva merietanalaji. Lajia kutsutaan triviaalisti "merilampaaksi" sen yleisen ulkonäön ja erityisesti selässä olevien, lampaanvillaa muistuttavien lisäkkeiden sille antaman muodon vuoksi. Nimi "kuroshimae" on annettu sille sen ensimmäisen havaintopaikan, japanilaisen Kuroshiman saaren perusteella. C. kuroshimae kykenee fysiologiseen prosessiin nimeltä kleptoplastia, jossa se säilyttää syömänsä levän kloroplastit eli viherhiukkaset. Kloroplastien imeminen levistä antaa sille tällöin mahdollisuuden suorittaa epäsuorasti fotosynteesiä. Lajia on tavattu Japanin Kuroshimassa, Taketomissa, Okinawassa ja Riukiusaarilla.
