Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. W. Busanus and R. D. Hoare 1991Aviculopecten with umbonal angle of 80-90O on moderately convex left valve; shell body ornamented with up to 70 unequal, rounded, radial costae, alternating in size, in- creasing by intercalation; 6-8 costae on anterior auricle, 10-15 costae on posterior auricle.
R. D. Hoare 1993Aviculopecten with nearly acline left valve; beak extends slightly above hingeline; greatest convexity just ventral to umbo; anterior auricle slightly larger and more distinctly set off from body than posterior auricle; body ornamentation of 30 slightly irregular, equal-sized, costae of two, possibly three, ranks; four costae on anterior auricle, 3-4 costae on posterior auricle; costae crossed by numerous fine, comarginal filae.
