Manupecten nolani is a species of marine bivalve mollusc in the family Pectinidae.[1] It was described in 2022 from the Canary Islands.[2]
Description
The shell is medium-sized for the genus (reported as 45–50 mm in height), fan-shaped with an elongated, subtriangular outline and a rounded distal margin. The valves lack prominent ribs and bear approximately 80 very dense radiating striae. External coloration is described as reddish fawn-brown with whitish zig-zag flammules. Auricles are strongly asymmetric, with the anterior auricle about twice the posterior; the right anterior auricle bears a byssal notch. The interior is porcelain-white; the hinge is toothless; the inner margin is crenulated due to longitudinal grooves. Soft parts were not evaluated in the original description.[2]
