Pectinella aequoris Dijkstra, 1991: 23 , figs 78-86. — Dijkstra & Maestrati 2010: 342 View Cited Treatment ; 2012: 397 View Cited Treatment .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Indonesia. North of Sumbawa, 175-185 m, holotype lv ( RMNH 56567).

Society Islands. Tarasoc, stn CP 3450, 16˚40’S, 151˚32’W, 705-755 m, 1 rv.

DISTRIBUTION. — Indonesia, New Caledonia, Norfolk Ridge, Hawaii Islands, Fiji Islands and Austral Islands ( Dijkstra & Maestrati 2010: 344). Depth range 260 m (alive). Now also Society Islands (new record), only a single valve at 705-755 m depth.

REMARKS

The present immature specimen is indistinguishable from the type material from Indonesia. The right valve has very weak antimarginal micro-scratches on the disc surface, which are also present on the types (described as “radially diverging scratches”).
