Aviculopecten

Bivalvia - Pectinida - Aviculopectinidae

Taxonomy
Aviculopecten was named by M'Coy (1851) [Sepkoski's age data: D Fame-u P Dora Sepkoski's reference number: 157,524]. Its type is Aviculopecten planoradiatus.

It was reranked as Pecten (Aviculopecten) by Stache (1878); it was misspelled as Aviculipecten by Girty (1915), Vokes (1980), Amler (1992), Newell and Boyd (1995), Sepkoski (2002), Amler (2010) and Bouchet et al. (2010).

It was assigned to Pecten by Stache (1878); to Bivalvia by Girty (1915); to Pectinacea by Amler (1992); to Pterioida by Sepkoski (2002); to Aviculopectininae by Vokes (1980) and Bouchet et al. (2010); and to Aviculopectinidae by Newell and Boyd (1995) and Amler (2010).
