«Pecten (Camptonectes) hectori Woods, 1917:--
Camptonectes selwynensis n. n.
(N.Z. Geol. Surv. Pal. Bull., No. 4, p. 26.)
Woods was forestalled in his compliment to Sir James Hector by Hutton, who had already proposed a Pecten hectori in 1873 (Cat. Tert. Moll., p. 30). His shell was identified by Suter as Pecten yahlensis Ten.-Woods, but Marwick (Rep. Austr. Ass. Adv. Sci., vol. 16, p. 326, 1924), in dissenting from this conclusion, has revived Hutton's name, noting that the species is apparently restricted to the Chatham Islands.»
