Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. Williams 1962Subpentagonal Aulidospira, almost as long as wide, with a wide, median, ventral fold (over one-half as deep as the length of the pedicle valve) separated from a pair of inconspicuous folds in the flattened postero-lateral areas by shallow rounded sulci; brachial valve gently convex, depressed anteriorly by a broad median sulcus; dental lamellae long, subparallel, ventral internal plate slightly convex dorsally, obtusely triangular in outline with a gently concave anterior base and sides extending along the floor of the valve for almost two-fifths of the length of the pedicle valve.
