DISTRIBUTION. — Marquesas Islands; live in 35-108 m (Dijkstra unpubl. data). Present material live in 35-55 m, dead in 109-1015 m .

Melvill (1888) mentioned the locality Japan for P. hastingsii , which is a junior synonym of the present species (see also Wagner 1989). This locality is doubtful. No material referable to of C. bernardi has ever been recorded subsequently from that region.

REMARKS. — This rare species has previously been synonymized with Cryptopecten nux (Reeve, 1853) (Hayami 1984; Rombouts 1991), a common pectinid, widely distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific. Wagner (1989), however, clearly described and figured C. bernardi and distinguished it from C. nux .
