Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. D. Hoare et al. 1978 | Shell small, strongly inequilateral, probably equivalved, flattened; beak located just back of anterior extremity; dorsal margin diverging from ventral margin to midlength, then curving convexly to meet ventral margin in a broadly rounded posterior extremity; surface marked by fine lines of growth and a few coarser growth lamellae near margins; numerous very fine closely spaced radial riblets extend from umbonal area covering posterior two-thirds of valve.
Hinge structure and interior features not observed. Holotype measures 8.6 mm long and 4.77 mm high. |
