Similipecten similis (Laskey, 1811) — Poppe & Goto 1993 (p. 71, pl. 10, fig. 8); Giannuzzi-Savelli et al. 2001 (p. 172, fig. 327); Repetto et al. 2005 (p. 298, mid right fig.); Beck et al. 2006 (p. 99, bottom fig.); Oliver et al. 2016, (online resource).

Diagnostic characters. Shell oval, longer than high; bluntly pointed anterior side; subequal auricles; smooth outer surface. Prodissoconch: shell type ST-2D; length about 120 µm; roundish D-shaped outline; low convex profile; P- 1 surface pitted; rim-like P-2 barely separated from P-1; transition to the nepioconch well marked.

Occurrence. Box-corer samples BC66 (1 specimen), BC71 (1), BC72 (6); core BC72 (1). Maximum height: 4 mm.

Distribution and habitat. The species is reported to have a cosmopolitan distribution, usually on sand (often coralline sand) and fine gravel with a variable amount of mud, from infralittoral to bathyal depths (Nordsieck 1969; Poppe & Goto 1993; Oliver et al. 2016).

Fossil record. Miocene of Poland, France and Italy; Pliocene of the Mediterranean, Belgium and Great Britain; Pleistocene of Denmark, Italy and Great Britain (Monterosato 1872; Sacco 1897; Brambilla 1976; Barrier et al. 1987; Monegatti & Raffi 2001; Petersen 2004).
