Argopecten purpuratus and Argopecten ventricosus (Mollusca: Pectinidae) are the only bivalve species from Argopecten genus that inhabit the East Pacific coast. Argopecten ventricosus is distributed from California (USA, 34.4°N) to Piura (Northern Peru, 5.9°S) while A. purpuratus, from Piura (5.1°S) to Antofagasta (Chile, 33.1°S). Fossil evidence suggests that both species diverged during the Mio-Pliocene transition (6-4 Mya). However, phylogenetic relationships between both species differ according to either fossil or molecular data. Therefore, we reconstructed a dated phylogeny with 20 complete mitogenome coding sequences from the family Pectinidae calibrated with fossil information under the Fossilized Birth-Death Process and using a relaxed molecular clock at BEAST v2.6.5. Species from Arcidae and Ostreidae were included as outgroups. Our results support the closer phylogenetic relationship between A. purpuratus and A. ventricosus compared to the Atlantic species A. irradians. We estimated that the divergence time between A. purpuratus and A. ventricosus was approximately 26.65 Mya. Thus, the divergence date would be older than previously proposed for both species with fossil data. Warm and cold environments coexistence, as result of a heterogeneous upwelling influence on Caribbean region, could had favoured both species divergence during the end of Oligocene. On the other hand, we estimated that the A. purpuratus linage has appeared at least 3.58 Mya. The progressive sea surface temperature decrease on Plio-Pleistocene from the Southeast Pacific could have favoured its adaptation to cold environments. Subsequently, the increase on El Niño Southern Oscillation variability could have contributed to keep its ecological plasticity, essential for its survival in the current Humboldt Ecosystem.
