Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. R. C. Reed 1917 | Shell subtriangular to subpentagonal, broadest anteriorly, rounded at sides, usually as wide as long or rather wider than long, biconvex. Pedicle-valve with median sinus commencing at from one-third to one-half the length of the valve, increasing rapidly in width to anterior margin to more than one-third the anterior width of shell, shallow, rounded, with floor more or less produced into tongue ; lateral
margins of sinus angular, more or less strongly elevated on front margin; floor of sinus with single narrow median rib of variable length and sometimes nearly obsolete ; lateral portions of valve gently convex, with traces of one or more angular short marginal plications, often obsolete, forming zigzag junctions of margin; beak small, acute, elevated, very slightly incuryed, higher than that of opposite valve ; triangular delthyrium below beak. Brachial valve usually more convex than pedicle-valve, with a more or less developed fold towards anterior margin composed of a pair of rather closely placed small angular or subangular plications of variable length, becoming highest on anterior margin; lateral portions of valve more or less convex and .dependent, occasionally with weak marginal plications; beak obtuse, low, small. Surface of valves smooth. | |
| A. Williams 1962 | Unequally biconvex, subpentagonal Parastrophina with rounded lateral sides and anterior margin, pedicle valve slightly wider than long, shell over two-thirds as deep as wide with a more convex brachial valve inflated posteriorly and elevated anteriorly along a fold originating between 3 and 5 mm. anterior to the umbo and consisting of a pair of subangular costae complementary to a median costa in a deep ventral sulcus that is over two-thirds as wide as the maximum width of the shell; dorsal flanks steeply convex, bearing 2 or 3 pairs of short subangular costae; spondylium duplex, supported by a median septum almost one-half as long as the pedicle valve, cruralial septum extending anteriorly for about onethird the length of the brachial valve. |
