Taxon Notes:	This genus used to be used as a "catch-all" genus for many scallop species. True Chlamys are now regarded as restricted to the northern hemisphere, and all species from the Australian region previously placed in Chlamys now belong in other genera. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
