Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
P. Jung 1971	Of small to medium size; shell thin almost equilateral; auricles of left valve subequal. Left anterior auricle with about six radial threads, left posterior one with one or two threads. Auricles of right valve unequal; byssal notch deep; Right anterior auricle with a sunken fasciole above which there are three to five comparatively coarse, radial threads. Right posterior auricle with one or two radials. Radial sculpture of shell disc consists of 20 to 30 fine threads which develop small scales where they are crossed by incremental, concentric lines. Spaces between radials smooth.
