‘Pecten (Chlamys)’ pasca Dall, 1908, has been observed in situ and collected alive for the first time. Previous records concern beach-drifted specimens only. In their adult stage the animals are cemented to rocks with the right valve. The species is endemic for Easter Island (Pacific). It is considered representative of a separate genus, described as Pascahinnites n. gen.
