Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| V. Perrier et al. 2019 | Left and right valves of apparently equal size. Lateral outline “triangular” to subquadrate, sometimes broadly egg-shaped. Straight dorsal margin usually well developed, sometimes corresponding to greatest carapace length; cardinal angles distinct or rounded. Sulcus always present, usually strongly developed, often extending across more than half of valve surface. Muscle attachment area absent or represented by a simple elliptical area at the ventral end of the sulcus. Spines may be developed near margin. Valve ornament absent or consisting of longitudinal ribs arranged parallel to dorsal margin; some outer ribs may be parallel to ends of valve (modified after Gooday 1983). |
