Abstract:
Evidence provided by Fang and Morris (1999) requires several changes in the Newell and Boyd (1995) taxonomy of aviculopectinacean bivalves.Availability of Aviculopecten as type genus for a family of inequivalve scallops makes our1995introduction of thename Etheripectinidae unnecessary.Our1995restricted diagnosis of Aviculopectinidae is invalid but is appropriate for Hayasakapectinidae aname we introduce here.
