PLATE 29, FIGURE 3. «Pecten paranensis Gabb, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 2d Ser., viii., p. 347, pl. 45, fig. 24, 1881; not of Orb., Voy. Am. Mer. Pal., p. 135, pl. vii., figs. 5-9, 1849.
Oligocene of Antigua, Spencer; and of St. Domingo, Gabb. Shell broad, compressed, oblique, inequilateral, with nearly equal valves and about nineteen concentrically scabrous, longitudinally striated ribs, with narrower interspaces, each filled with one imbricated riblet. Alt. 48, lat. 52, diam. 13 mm. The Antillean species is quite distinct from that figured by Orbigny, and more nearly resembles his P. tehuelchus, which has a more inflated and rounder shell, with a much larger and less oblique posterior ear. (Cf. Voy. Am. Mer., Mollusques, pl. 85, figs. 21 to 24.)» WILLIAM HEALEY DALL, 1898
