Decatopectinini
Waller, 1986
Diagnosis
. Pectininae with very closely spaced commarginal lamellae, delicate antimarginal microsculpture restricted to the pre-radial growth stage, absent from auricles and sides of disc; dentition with dorsal and/or intermediate teeth, the latter multiple or absent in some taxa, resilial teeth weak or absent. Internal plicae carinate or with carinate edges of internal plicae near ventral margin.
Discussion
.
Waller (1986: 40)
introduced a new tribe
Decatopectinini
with
Decatopecten
Sowerby II, 1839
as the
type
genus and included the following genera:
Anguipecten
Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938
,
Annachlamys
Iredale, 1939
,
Bractechlamys
Iredale, 1939
,
Excellichlamys
Iredale, 1939
,
Flexopecten
Sacco, 1897
,
Gloripallium
Iredale, 1939
,
Juxtamusium
Iredale, 1939
,
Mirapecten
Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938
, and
Somalipecten
Waller, 1986
. Dijkstra (1991) later included a new genus
Glorichlamys
, Dijkstra & Kilburn (2001: 283)
synonymized
Somalipecten
Waller, 1986
with
Mirapecten
Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938
, and
Waller (2006a: 27
, fig. 1.3) transferred
Annachlamys
to tribe
Pectinini
and
Flexopecten
to tribe
Aequipectinini
.
Waller (2011)
added the new genus
Antillipecten
Waller, 2011
and transferred
Nodipecten
Dall, 1898
from
Pectinini
to
Decatopectinini
, although the latest molecular phylogeny by
Serb (2016)
included
Nodipecten
in
Amusiini
.As noted in the introduction, despite varying positions in recent molecular phylogenies, we retain
Annachlamys
in
Pectinini
here.
