Pecten distans Lamarck, 1819: 169. Recent, Mediterranean Sea.
Pecten distans Lamarck, 1819 (sensu G. B. Sowerby 2nd., 1842: 61, pl. 13 fig. 46, pl. 18 fig. 182) (non Lamarck). Recent, Philippines. Pecten distans Lamarck, 1819 (sensu Reeve, 1853: species 49, pl. 13 fig. 49) (non Lamarck). Recent, Philippines. Pecten janus Münster in Goldfuss, l833: 62. Oligocene, Germany. Pecten janus [Montrouzier MS] Fischer, 1858: 340-341. Nomen novum for Pecten distans Lamarck (sensu Reeve, 1853). Lamarck (1819) described Pecten distans, a recent species from the Mediteranean Sea, which is a subjective junior synonym of Ostrea glabra Linnaeus, 1758 (Dijkstra, I 994: 481, figs. 60-64). G. B. Sowerby 2nd. (1842) used the name Pecten distans for another recent species, from the Philippines, and referring to Lamarck (1819: 169). Subsequently, Reeve (1853) also described Pecten distans from the Philippines and referred to Lamarck's second edition by Deshayes (1836: 139), but did not refer to Sowerby's species. Fischer (1858) introduced a nomen novum, Pecten janus, for Pecten distans sensu Reeve, overlooking Sowerby's species. Pecten janus was preoccupied by Münster in Goldfuss (1833), but a new name for P. distans sensu Reeve is not necessary. A nomen novum is herein proposed for Pecten distans G. B. Sowerby 2nd., 1842 (non Lamarck, 1819) honouring George Brettingham Sowerby 2nd. (1812-1884).» HENK H. DIJKSTRA, 1998
