THE VERY FRECKLED PECTEN. Shell somewhat triangular-oblong, higher than long, rather compressed, nearly equilateral, equivalve, rayed with about twenty-two foliaceous-scaled angular ridges; whitish, freckled with black, umboes purple-red, interior of a livid smoky hue; ears unequal.
Hab. Island of Ticao, Philippines (under stones at low water); Cuming. This is the shell figured and described by Mr. Sowerby as a variety of P. sanguineus, but it differs from that species in the following important particulars. The posterior ears are less obliquely shortened, and the ribs are less numerous, while they are angled and foliaceous-scaled.» LOVELL AUGUSTUS REEVE, 1853
