Status Considered as a nomen nudum and listed in synonymy of Lyropecten estrellanus (Conrad, 1856) by Smith (1991, as "Pallium heermanni"). However, Conrad (1855) provided a short description and made the name available, which makes heermanni the older available name and estrellanus its junior synonym. [details]

Status Considered as a nomen nudum and listed in synonymy of Lyropecten estrellanus (Conrad, 1856) by Smith (1991, as "Pallium heermanni"). However, Conrad (1855) provided a short description and made the name available, which makes heermanni the older available name and estrellanus its junior synonym. [details]
