Nomenclature Velata Quenstedt has been treated by Moore (1969, Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, N1: 373) as a junior homonym of "Velata Griffiths & Pidgeon, 1834"; the latter, however, is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Velates Montfort, 1810 and thus not an available name. Also a senior objective synonym of Eopecten. [details]
