Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. L. Benedetto et al. 2013Outline transversely semi elliptical, with greatest width at hinge line, up to 24 mm wide and 20 mm long. Shell profile concave-convex. Gently convex ventral valve with maximum height at about one-quarter valve length. Ventral umbo inconspicuous. Ventral interarea apsacline, planar, low, transversely striated, with delthyrium covered apically by a convex deltidium. Dorsal interarea smaller and anacline. Hinge line lacking denticles. Unequally parvicostellate ornament of fine primary costellae numbering 5 per 5 mm at valve margin in between which are 2–3 parvicostellae. Ventral interior with stout rounded teeth diverging at about 120 degrees, supported by strong, proportionally long dental plates extending anteriorly at right angle. Ventral muscle field large, subtriangular, faintly impressed, bounded posterolaterally by anterior prolongation of dental plates. Cardinal process lobes discrete, directed ventrally, elongate, extending slightly beyond the anterior ends of socket ridges, diverging at about 40 degrees. Dorsal median ridge originating anterior to the cardinal process lobes, initially broad and undifferentiated, narrowing anteriorly. Socket ridges nearly straight, much slender than cardinal process lobes, diverging at about 90 degrees. Dorsal muscle field not impressed.
