New combination Piazza & Robba (1994) did not explicitly establish this combination, but indirectly implied it by stating that the species "appears to be unrelated to Argopecten circularis. In fact, the accurate illustration of the holotype shows that secondary riblets are present in the interspaces and on ribs, a character which is never observed in Sowerby's species. In case, a superficial resemblance is to be noted with the North American Argopecten nicholsi (Gardner, 1926)." [details]
