Type locality Type locality not specified, but the text in Chemnitz (1785: 134) for pl. 80, fig. 719, cited by Röding (1798) reads (in translation) “According to the statement by Professor Müller in the text for Knorr’s work on shells, this genus is being found in the West Indies at the beach of the Antilles […]. I own several duplicates of this species, which however were collected from the shores of Tranquebar.” His figures are “ex Museo nostro”, so stem from Tranquebar/Indian material. Röding also referred to “4 St.” [= 4 Stücke = 4 specimens] in the Bolton collection. Current usage, following Abbott (1974) retains the name P. imbricata for Atlantic and Caribbean populations, and this would also be the valid name for worldwide populations if P. radiata (Leach, 1814) and P. fucata (Gould, 1850) were considered as synonyms (e.g. Huber, 2010) [details]

Taxonomy The papers by Tëmkin (2010) and Cunha et al. (2011) were published about simultaneously and do not discuss each other's results. Tëmkin treated fucata and radiata as geographical subspecies of imbricata, whereas Cunha et al. presented a molecular tree that resolved them at the rank of species. This may be a result of the two papers using different markers: Tëmkin used 18S, 28S, 16S, and H3, whereas Cunha et al. used 18S and CO1. The matter is not fully resolved. [details]
