«Pectinites irregularis von Schlotheim, 1813: 112. Fossil, Germany.
Pecten irregularis G. B. Sowerby 2nd., 1842: 69, pl. 13 figs. 51, 52. Recent, Indo-West and Southwest Pacific. Pecten irregularis M'Coy, 1844: 95, pl. 15 fig. 8. Carboniferous, Ireland. Pecten irregularis Blankenhorn, 1934: 187, fig. 19. Cretaceous, Syria [= Pecten phoeniciensis Hertlein, 1936: 56. Nomen novum]. Von Schlotheim (1813) introduced Pectinites irregularis. Hertlein (1969: N366) and Vokes (1980: 56) made clear that Pectinites von Schlotheim, 1813 (non Gesner, 1758, nec Gmelin, 1791) is an invalid emendation (ICZN, 1985: 41, Article 20) for Pecten Müller, 1776.
Sowerby (1842) described Pecten irregularis, a recent species from the western and southwestcrn Indo-Pacific. Hertlein (1936: 56) introduced Pecten phoeniciensis, a nomen novum for Pecten irregularis Blanckenhorn, 1934 (non Sowerby, 1842, nec M'Coy, 1844). Therefore Pecten irregularis Sowerby is replaced here by a nomen novum after George Brettingham Sowerby 2nd. (1812-1884).» HENK H. DIJKSTRA, 1998
