|---|---|---|
| G. A. Cooper 1956 | Shell fairly large for the genus, wider than .long, with the hinge width almost twice the length; cardinal extremities alate; strongly geniculate; angle of geniculation variable; surface marked by strong and fine costellae, about 5 of the latter in 5 mm. at the front margin and about 7 fine costellae separating the larger ones. Fine costellae strongly cancellated by fine concentric lines.
Pedicle valve with variable lateral profile, the visceral portion varying from fiat to gently convex, the geniculated part from narrowly convex. Trail nearly fiat to gently convex and varying in angle of geniculation from 60° to I00°. Geniculation occurring 6 or 7 mm. anterior to the beak. Geniculated part narrowly to roundly convex depending on angle of geniculation. Umbonal and median regions somewhat swollen; flanks of visceral part somewhat depressed. Interarea moderately long; pseudodeltidium large and convex. Brachial valve with visceral part gently concave, with the median region the deepest part and the flanks somewhat flattened. Trail moderately long, slightly concave; adductor plates strongly developed. |
