Laevichlamys cf wilhelminae
(Bavay, 1904)
22.7mm
The
photos below show three different specimens of a small pecten that is similar
to Laevichlamys wilhelminae.
Although it may be a variation of that species, we are currently treating it
separately due to the more distinct sculpture and the dark spotting on one of
the valves. The empty shell immediately below was found empty on a pinnacle
reef some distance lagoonward of Ebeye Island, and the two living specimens
below were photographed in an algae patch along the east reef.
