Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
F. M. Anderson 1902Associated with the former species is another somewhat related form, with a finer and more subdued sculpture. The ventral sinus bears about nine or ten plications of uniform size and none of the strong folds of the other. The shell is rather circular in outline. The dorsal valve is crossed by two diverging ridges meeting on the anterior margin the borders of the ventral sinus.
