Google Lirophora clenchi and you will find many references that list it as a valid West Atlantic species such as Guide to Shelf Invertebrates, Gulf of Mexico - Perry and Larsen © 2004 among others. WoRMs lists the source of the synonymy as Coan E.V. & Valentich-Scott P. (2012) Bivalve seashells of tropical West America, which you should also consult.
