| S. F. Poropat and J.-P. Colin 2012 | Original as translated from Krömmelbein (1965b): A genus presumably belonging to the Cyprididae of unknown subfamily with the following characteristics: Carapace robust or elongate ovate in lateral view, in dorsal view biconvex. Right valve larger than left, overlapping very slightly around the entire margin: overlap is most prominent along the central ventral margin and along the upper anterior margin, where the left valve is weakly concave and the right is convex. Both valves have very weak, poorly-defined pitting in the anterodorsal region; aside from this, no coarse or fine ornamentation has been observed. |
