U. S. Grant, IV and H. R. Gale 1931Shell with the general outlme of caurinuf:, usually equivalved, with 17-21 ribs; the ribs of the right valve wider than the interspaces and always distinctly sulcated after the shell has reached a height of about 50 mm., the ribs of the left valve like those of cauriiius, but after the shell has reached 50 mm., always separated by a strong mid-rili, the mterspaces of the right valve often with an obscure mid-rib also; hinge line about half the length of the shell, ears as in caurinus except that there are four or five fairly strong radiating rililets on the byssal ear; growth lines as in caurinus.
