BONGRAIN, M., B. CAHUZAC & S. FRENEIX. 1994. Amussiopecten (Costellamussiopecten) praehaueri nov. subgen., nov. sp. (Pectinidae, Bivalvia) de l’Aquitanien basal d’Aquitaine. Considérations sur la lignée des Costellamussiopecten. Revue de Paléobiologie, 13: 97–115.
"The basal members of this group from the Early and Middle Miocene (Aquitanian and Langhian) of France that have scaly secondary radial costae in addition to spines on the right dorsal auricular margins were formally named Amussiopecten (Costellamussiopecten) by Bongrain et al. (1994). This group was later expanded by Bongrain & Cahuzac (2004) to include species that have lost the secondary disk costae but retain the dorsal auricular spines, including "Amusium" cristatum. Bongrain & Cahuzac (2004) elevated this enlarged group to genus rank and named it Cristatopecten. Unfortunately, this name was still born in the sense that it was immediately a junior synonym of Costellamussiopecten, the type species of which was included in the new genus by these authors."
