1939 Cyclopecten (Cyclochlamys) shepherdi Laws, 1939
«This is the first fossil species of the genus to be recorded from New Zealand. A single left valve has been obtained. Of the three recent species it is nearest to C. aupouria Powell, but aupouria is more nearly equilateral and has the beaks central and raised into rounded knobs. Also the radial threads of the new species are better developed and run through the concentrics.
Height, 1·0 mm.; length, 1·3 mm.» C. R. LAWS, 1939
