«Species 69. (Mus. Cuming.)
PECTEN CRUENTATUS. Pect. testa subtrigono-orbiculari, altiore quam longa, aequilaterali, aequivalvi, costis ad septem et viginti, plano-convexis, confertis, centralibus latioribus, obsolete arcuatim striatis radiata; intense coccineo-rufa, albido hic illic sparsim maculata; auriculis valde inaequalibus, obliquis, posticis brevissimis.
THE BLOOD-RED PECTEN. Shell somewhat triangularly orbicular, higher than long, equilateral, equivalve, rayed with about twenty-seven flatly convex close-set ribs, the central being regularly broader; deep scarlet-red, sparingly spotted here and there with white; ears very unequal, oblique, posterior ears very short.
Pecten sanguineus, Sowerby (not of Gmelin). Hab. Cape Upstart, North Australia; Jukes. The shell noticed by Mr. Sowerby as a dark variety of this species, and represented in the plate which follows Fig. 76, is certainly distinct.» LOVELL AUGUSTUS REEVE, 1853
