LYROPECTEN INTERMEDIUS, Conrad.
«Description.— Rounded-oval, ventricose; ribs 9-10 nodose, as wide as the interstices; with numerous closely scaled striae covering the whole surface, and numbering about ten between each rib. Purple, within purple, with a large white central deposit of callus.
Length 4¾, breadth 4¾ inches. Locality.— Cape St. Lucas, California. Cabinet of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Observations.— This shell, of which a single, somewhat worn valve is in our collection, was received by the Academy from the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, with the following label attached: "Pecten subnodosus, var. intermedius.'' It differs from subnodosus, however, in having much finer striae, numbering nearly double as many between each rib.» TIMOTHY ABBOT CONRAD, 1867
