«Pecten minutus Bosc, 1802: 260. Recent, Indo-West Pacific.
Pecten minutus Nicklés, 1955: 135-136, figs. 17A-B. Recent, tropical western Africa. Nicklés (1955) described Pecten minutus from tropical western Africa. However, he apparently had overlooked Pecten minutus Bosc, 1802. Therefore a nomen novum is here introduced in honour of the previous author Maurice Nicklés.»
