«Shell delicate, thin, obliquely suborbicular, fan-like, with both valves much flattened, the left being slightly the more convex, but their difference in form is not marked. Right valves sculptured with about sixteen very roundly and strongly fluted ribs, entirely smooth except for concentric growth lines; ears of moderate size, the anterior with six radiating threads. Left valve feebly sculptured with very low, undulating ribs marked only with growth lines. Length of a right valve 33, altitude 32, semidiameter 5; a left is 31 x 29 x 4 mm.
This species seems nearest to Pecten thompsoni Maury, from the Gurabo formation, Dominican Republic. Locality.— Matura. Horizon.— Pliocene.» CARLOTTA JOAQUINA MAURY, 1925
