| Quote | Name misapplied to the Eastern Pacific scallop. Holotype of Argopecten circularis misidentified as new species by Sowerby (1835). It is a specimen of Argopecten irradians concentricus (Say, 1822). Argopecten circularis is not valid and should be a junior synonym of Argopecten irradians concentricus. Valid name of Argopecten circularis, Eastern Pacific scallop, is Argopecten ventricosus, a lectotype. |
