Dear Kurt and all,
  I wouldn't be surprised if the mollusk with the most named wasn't either
Flexopecten glaber or Aequipecten opercularis. There are synonyms up to ying
yang for both of  them and expecially after Msr. Locard got through naming
color forms. One day I will count them all, but if there are less than fifty
names for each species I would be surprised.
