According to Kuroda, T., T. Habe, K. Oyama "Seashells of Sagami
Bay" crassicostatus Reeve, 1853 sp 64 is nobilis.
According to Rombouts, A. et al. "Guidebook to Pecten Shells",
crassicostata Sowerby, 1842 takes precedence over (senatoria) nobilis
(Reeve, 1852), but no specific justification is given.
According to Higo, Shun'ichi, Paul Callomon, Yoshihiro Goto "Catalogue &
Bibliography of the Marine Shell-bearing Mollusca of Japan", it is
crassicostata auctt. (non-Sowerby) that is a synonym of nobilis
