| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. R. C. Reed 1917 (Hemipronites thomsoni) | Shell subcircular to subelliptical, strongly biconvex; hinge-line rather less than maximum width ; cardinal angles obtuse or rounded. Pedicle-valve convex, rounded, not carinate, much longer than brachial valve, with high elevated pointed beak, slightly incurved, and with cardinal slopes meeting at 80°-100° at beak ; hinge-area large, high, triangular, lying nearly in plane of valve or slightly sloping back, concave, with triangular open delthyrium. Brachial valve transversely elliptical, with traces of a broad median depression generally present; beak small, inconspicuous, obtuse ; hingearea narrow, steeply inclined. Surface of valves covered with very numerous closely placed regular equal rounded low riblets dividing usually close to margin, and numbering about 150 on edge of valves, gently curved back on lateral portions of shell, and all crossed by fine concentric strise, with 2-3 lamellose growth-ridges near margins. Interior unknown. |
