Lyropecten
Taxonomy
Lyropecten was named by Conrad (1862) [Sepkoski's age data: T Ol-l T Plio Sepkoski's reference number: 1112].
It was reranked as Pecten (Lyropecten) by Dall (1898), Arnold (1906), Grant and IV and Gale (1931); it was reranked as Chlamys (Lyropecten) by Gardner (1943), Dockery (1982).
It was assigned to Pecten by Dall (1898), Arnold (1906), Grant and IV and Gale (1931); to Chlamys by Gardner (1943), Dockery (1982); to Pectinidae by Addicott (1974), Moore (1984), Smith (1991), Perrilliat (1994); and to Pterioida by Sepkoski (2002).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. T. Smith 1991 | Valves circular in outline, equally convex in profile; moderately flat to gibbous, some species tending to have rounded or angular ledges. Radiating ribs or- namented by radial costae in most taxa (but not the type species); interspaces with one or more radial riblets cross- ed by concentric lirae or growth lines. Auricles subequal, costate, and lirate, hinge line less than half shell length. Byssal notch moderately deep, ctenolium present in juveniles, preserved in some adults. Three pairs of hinge teeth in right valves, two pairs in left valves. Some species with regularly spaced ribs, others with prominent key ribs arranged in patterns characteristic of different phylo- genetic lineages within the genus. Some of the species with key ribs also have nodes.Similar to Nodipecten in valve outline and profile, hinge characters, ctenolium, and fine sculpture; unlike Nodi- pecten in having nearly equal auricles, a shallow byssal notch, and regularly spaced ribs rather than left valve ribs and right valve interspaces of alternating widths. Most species lack nodes, but in the group including L. crassicardo and L. magnificus, hollow nodes evolved over time from elongate thickenings along key ribs. Nodipecten nodes are commonly larger and bulbous. Lyropecten differs in growth form and proportions from "Macrochlamis," which is represented in California by taxa hav- ing large auricles, hinge lines greater than half the shell length, a shallow byssal notch, and no tendency to develop ledges, key ribs or nodes. Vertipecten has many characters that distinguish it from Lyropecten: a convex left valve and flat right valve, the number and character of imbricated ribs, shagreen microsculpture, deep byssal notch, and a smooth hinge area lacking crura. |
