Type data . Pecten rastellum Lamarck : holotype (pr) MHNG1088/24. Type locality: “Habite les mers du Nord” [error].A new type locality was designated by Dijkstra (1994: 474): off Punta Engaño, Mactan Island , Cebu , Philippine Islands . Pecten amaliae Kobelt : lectotype (lv) LMAD [not registered], herein designated. Type locality: “Amboyna?”. It is likely that the type specimen was found in the Moluccas. Similar material from eastern Indonesia has been examined ( RMNH ). Comments on type data . For nomenclatural notes on Pecten rastellum var. “beta” see Dijkstra (1994: 474). The first author traced only the left valve (Kobelt’s fig. 5) of an articulated specimen (see Kobelt, 1887 : pl. 53, figs 5–6) of Pecten amaliae in the LMAD collection.

Description . Shell up to 53 mm high (Huber, 2010), most specimens to c. 25 mm ; subcircular, left valve flattened, right valve more inflated, slightly inequivalve and equilateral, auricles somewhat unequal in shape and size, umbonal angle about 85–90°; internal plicae with weak, moderately long rib carinae around ventral margin in most specimens (lacking in a few); hinge teeth weak; colour highly variable, white, cream, yellow, red, purple, brownish, uniform or mottled. Both valves sculptured with 7–9 evenly spaced radial plicae, with widely spaced curved scales (larger on left valve than on right), more prominent marginally. Plicae and interstices equal in width. Auricles with very closely spaced commarginal microsculpture (almost lacking on disc), macrosculpture lacking except for 2–3 radial riblets on anterior auricle of right valve; dorsal margin spinose. Byssal notch moderately deep, byssal fasciole rather broad. Functional ctenolium with 5–8 prominent teeth. Dimensions . Illustrated specimen: QLD, GBR, No Name Reef, 15–20 m , single rv (AM C.153123): H 37.4, L 37.8 mm . Habitat . Living in the littoral zone and on the continental shelf, amongst coral rubble on sandy bottoms. In Western Australia on offshore islands and reefs with clean conditions. Distribution . Tropical Indo-West and central Pacific from southern Japan to northern Australia , eastwards to the Line Islands (not recorded from the Hawaiian Islands or French Polynesia ) (Raines & Poppe, 2006: 132); Philippines , 27–120 m (Dijkstra, 2013: 50); Indonesia , 34 m and 285–305 m , dead (Dijkstra, 1991: 48); Papua New Guinea , 10–58 m (Dijkstra, 1998a: 24); Vanuatu , 13–80 m (Dijkstra & Maestrati, 2012: 406). Maximum depth range of live-taken specimens is 12– 165 m . This species is not found along Australian shores, but recorded only from offshore reefs. Remarks . The present specimens are indistinguishable from the type material. For comparison with congeneric species see Dijkstra & Kilburn (2001: 285).
