«Genus ANGUIPECTEN. new genus
Shell of medium size, suborbicular, laterally compressed, moderately thin; wings equal, rather small, with no byssal sinus. Sculpture consists of many rounded radial ribs, with finer radial riblets, crossed by crowded minute concentric threads, with the intervening spaces covered over by a thin calcareous layer, so that externally the position of the threads is marked by minute grooves.
Type: Anguipecten gregoryi, new species. The nature of the wings, with lack of a byssal sinus in the right valve, and the sculpture 'readily distinguish this genus from the other groups. To this genus undoubtedly also belongs Pecten lamberti Souverbie from Lifu (?). (Journ. de Conch., vol. 22, p. 200, pI. 7, fig. 9, 1874).» WILLIAM HEALEY DALL, PAUL BARTSCH & HARALD ALFRED REHDER, 1936

«Anguipecten Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938
Anguipecten Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938: 92. Type species (by original designation): Anguipecten gregoryi Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938. Recent, Hawaiian Islands and New Caledonia.
Diagnosis. Subcircular to oblong Decatopectinini with 6-40 radial costae, laterally compressed, sculptured with delicate closely spaced commarginal lamellae; auricles unusually small, subequal to equal; byssal notch obsolete, no byssal fasciole, ctenolium weakly developed. Hinge teeth consisting of weak resilial and short prominent intermediate and dorsal teeth. Internal rib carinae well-developed.
Distribution. Miocene–Recent (Hayami, 1989: 15). Hertlein & Grant (1972: 205) recorded Anguipecten from the Miocene of New Caledonia, without citing a source; neither D. Jablonski (who pointed the record out to us) nor we have been able to substantiate this record. H. J. Campbell (GNS, Lower Hutt, pers. comm. Sept 2017) and New Caledonian colleagues are not aware of Miocene fossil scallops from New Caledonia. We are not aware of other fossil records of Anguipecten. Indo-West Pacific.
Remarks. Species of Anguipecten occur only in the (sub)tropical Indo-West Pacific. The following species are included: Anguipecten superbus (G. B. Sowerby II, 1842) known from southern Japan southwards to northern Australia and eastwards to the Solomon Islands; Anguipecten gregoryi Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938 from the Hawaiian Islands; Anguipecten lamberti (Souverbie in Souverbie & Montrouzier, 1874) from New Caledonia; Anguipecten picturatus Dijkstra, 1995 (a replacement name for Pecten aurantiacus A. Adams & Reeve, 1850) from southern Japan southwards to northern Australia, westwards to northern Zululand (South Africa), and eastwards to the Solomon superbusIslands; Anguipecten simoneae Morrison & Whisson, 2009 from Rowley Shoals, northern Western Australia; and Anguipecten pacificus Dijkstra, 2002 from the Marquesas Islands (French Polynesia).»
