Ylistrum is a genus of marine bivalve mollusks in the family Pectinidae, the scallops.[1][2]
There are four species currently in the genus:[1]
- Ylistrum balloti (Bernardi, 1861)
- Ylistrum japonicum (Gmelin, 1791)
- †Ylistrum morganense (Beu & Darragh, 2001)
- †Ylistrum subcostatum (Beu & Darragh, 2001)
Previously, these species were considered to be members of Amusium,[1] but a 2014 paper determined that the resemblance of their shell to Amusium pleuronectes is a case of convergent evolution; thorough studies of genetics and morphology allowed for the description of Ylistrium as a new genus, being sister to Antillipecten.[3]
