Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. Williams 1962Subquadrate and subequally biconvex Doleroides ornamented by fine costellae spaced at about 4 per millimetre; brachial valve with a postero-median sulcus which may persist anteriorly to be impressed on a broad, fiat fold; pedicle valve broadly sulcate anteriorly, commonly with a low umbonal fold encroaching anteriorly on the sulcus; ventral muscle-scar subpentagonal in outline, just over onethird as long as the pedicle valve and about seven-eighths as wide as long, contained posteriorly and laterally by divergent dental lamellae and subparallel ridges respectively, adductor field narrow, median, and defined by a pair of fine parallel ridges. Cardinal process fine, blade-like; brachiophore supporting plates short, slightly convergent, receding, notothyrial platform poorly developed, median ridge absent.
