Pecten Müller, 1776 View in CoL

Pecten Müller, 1776: 248 View in CoL . Type species (by subsequent designation, Schmidt, 1818): Ostrea maxima Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL ; Pliocene to Recent, E Atlantic.

Argus Poli, 1791: 32 View in CoL (junior homonym of Argus View in CoL of Bohadsch, 1761, of Scopoli, 1763, and of Scopoli, 1777). Refers to the animal only; see Jukes-Brown (1908: 99–103) and Dall (1909: 251–252). Adopted by Gray (1847: 200) for Pecten maximus View in CoL , but preoccupied.

Argoderma Poli, 1795: 254 View in CoL , 260 (proposed for the shell containing the animal of Argus Poli, 1791 View in CoL ).

Pallium Schröter, 1802 View in CoL (in 1801–1806): 135. Replacement name for Pecten Müller, 1776 ( Rehder, 1944: 54) View in CoL .

Pectinium Link, 1807: 156 View in CoL . Proposed as a new generic name for the Ostrea species of Linnaeus, now referrable to Pecten View in CoL sensu lato. For a complete list, see Sherborn (1933: 802). Invalid emendation of Pecten View in CoL .

Pandora Megerle von Mühlfeld, 1811: 59 View in CoL (junior homonym of Pandora Bruguière, 1797 View in CoL ). Type species (by monotypy): Ostrea maxima Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL .

Pectinites Schlotheim, 1813: 92 View in CoL , 103, 112 (unavailable, ICZN (1999: 22, Article 20); junior homonym of Pectinites View in CoL of Gesner, 1758, and of Gmelin, 1791).

Janira Schumacher, 1817: 40 View in CoL , 177 (junior homonym of Janira Leach, 1814 View in CoL ). Type species (by monotypy): Janira intermedia Schumacher, 1817 (= Ostrea maxima Linneaus, 1758 View in CoL ).

Janera G. B. Sowerby II, 1839: 52 (incorrect subsequent spelling of Janira Schumacher, 1817 View in CoL ).

Vola View in CoL “Klein” Mörch, 1853: 59. Type species (by monotypy): Ostrea maxima Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL .

Oppenheimopecten von Teppner, 1922: 87 View in CoL , 254. Type species (by original designation): Pecten subbenedictus Fontannes, 1878 View in CoL ; Miocene , Europe and Algeria.

Heritschia von Teppner, 1922: 87 View in CoL , 264. Type species (by original designation): Pecten aduncus von Eichwald, 1830 View in CoL ; Miocene, NW Ukraine.

Jaworskia von Teppner, 1922: 87 View in CoL , 266. Type species (by original designation): Pecten grandis J. de C. Sowerby, 1828 View in CoL ; Pliocene , Suffolk Crag, Great Britain.

Notovola Finlay, 1926: 451 View in CoL . Type species (by original designation): Pecten novaezelandiae Reeve, 1853 View in CoL ; Pleistocene and Recent, New Zealand.

Convexopecten Tucker-Rowland, 1938: 82 . Type species (by original designation): Pecten josslingi J. Smith, 1847 View in CoL ; Miocene, Portugal and France (Cahuzac, 2005: 279, figs 3a–j, 4a–f).

Diagnosis. Pectinini with a sturdy, subcircular shell, up to c. 150 mm in height, with almost flat to concave left valve and strong inflated right valve, both valves with radial macrosculpture and commarginal microsculpture. Auricles almost equal in size. Byssal notch shallow, ctenolium weak in juveniles and lacking in adult stage. Internal rib carinae prominent. Multiple, prominent intermediate hinge teeth between the dorsal and resilial teeth ( Waller, 1991: 38, figs 6e–f). Pre-radial area of left valve unusually tall, up to 10 mm high, smooth.

Distribution. Early Miocene–Recent. The early Miocene species Pecten beudanti Basterot, 1825 is the “earliest true Pecten ” according to Waller (2006a: 24); the Oligocene species “ Peten ” arcuatus (Brocchi, 1814) was included in Gigantopecten by Waller (2006a: 24). Philippia von Teppner (1922: 87 , 221) (type species Pecten arcuatus Brocchi, 1814 ; junior homonym of Philippia Gray, 1847 ) therefore is a synonym of Gigantopecten rather than Pecten . Pecten : E Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific, living in the littoral zone, generally in colonies, with the convex right valve settled into soft sediment and the flat left valve lying at the sedimentwater interface, most specimens camouflaged with a thin layer of sediment.

Discussion. Hertlein (1969: N366) placed Pecten in the Pecten (Pecten) subgroup, together with Amussiopecten Sacco, 1897 , Euvola Dall, 1898 , Flabellipecten Sacco, 1897 ,
