From editor or global species database
New combination Combination not found as such in the literature, but Roger (1939) placed the species in the group of Chlamys northamptoni [sic], all of whose members are currently in Costellamussiopecten. [details]Spelling As correctly pointed out by Roger (1939), "kooki" is an incorrect original spelling. Although not explicitly writing an etymology, De Gregorio (1895) mentioned a "Prof. Kook" in the Introduction, which is obviously a misspelling for Cooke, which he cited in the reference list.
