Status Depéret (1904) stated under the species Pecten flabelliformis Brocchi that "[...] the specimen from the Defrance collection bears a stuck label bearing the name Pecten Cortesii [...]. This description does not agree with the sample, since it is a small form with scaly ribs and slightly fewer in number. It is therefore likely a label error and we cannot currently know what Pecten Cortesii de Defrance is, at least until the true type has been found." [translated from French] [details]
