Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. A. Cooper et al. 1952This species is characterized by its short pseudointerarea, strongly oblique conical form and strong biconvexity. It differs from P. rotunda Bell in its apsacline and shorter pseudointerarea, longitudinally oval outline and strongly convex brachial valve Pegmatreta perplexa Bell is also a transversely elliptical form and therefore differs markedly from P. arellanoi.
