Pect. testâ ovatâ, tenuiculâ, compresso-convexâ, aequilaterali, vix aequivalvi, valvis costis quinque laevibus radiatis, liris tribus intervenientibus, costâ posticâ extremâ squamâ magnâ ad marginem; roseâ, immaculatâ, ad latera albipunctatâ; auriculis grandibus, expansis, inaequalibus, ad marginem squamatis.
THE DELICATE PECTEN. Shell ovate, rather thin, compressly convex, equilateral, scarcely equivalve, valves rayed with five smooth ribs, with three ridges coming between, the extreme posterior rib with a large scale at the margin; pink, unspotted, white-dotted at the sides; ears large, expanded, unequal, scaled along the margin. Hab. —? This has the appearance of being an immature shell, but it is, nevertheless, of marked character.» LOVELL AUGUSTUS REEVE, 1853
