Species Pecten rudis Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype of Pecten rudis: NHM-L27688 (Coquimbo). REMARKS. This species is based on a small fragment – the holotype of Pecten rudis – of a disc of a poorly preserved coarsely costate pectinid. The figure (Sowerby, 1846, pl. 3, fig. 32) seems to be a reconstruction of this. According to Philippi (1887, p. 204), this species is similar to Argopecten purpuratus from the Quaternary beds of Coquimbo. This was later confirmed by Herm (1969, p. 107-109, pl. 4, figs 1-5), who synonymized it with the Quaternary species. Herm included this taxon in Chlamys (Aequipecten), but we here follow Waller (1969) and place it within Argopecten Monterosato, 1889 [type species Pecten solidulus Reeve, 1853].
