Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. F. Mitchell 2013An inequivalve caprinuloideid with an elongate straight right valve and a shorter coiled left valve. The anterior tooth is large (and may be bifid) and the posterior tooth is smaller and has a prominent posterior ridge making it ‘arrow’- shaped. The anterior myophore of the left valve is connected to the anterior tooth. The posterior myophore of the left valve is blade-like, strongly elongated and fits into an elongate cavity in the right valve; the endomyophoral cavity and the socket for the anterior tooth are separated by a long septum. There is no external ligamental groove; the ligament being represented by a pear-shaped cavity completely isolated from the exterior of the shell.
