Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. E. Weaver and K. Palmer 1922 | Shell small, elongate in outline; inequilateral, beaks situated
one-third the distance from the anterior end ; dorsal margin straight ; anterior end nearly straight, sloping at about an angle of 15 with the dorsal margin, passing into the ventral margin with a broad bow ; ventral margin straight, produced obliquely ; posterior margin broadly pointed at the ventral end, sloping to the dorsal margin at about an angle of 40 ; a mid-umbonal sulcus extends to the ventral margin, sloping obliquely from the beaks ; surface sculptured by concentric lines of growth crossed by numerous fine, delicate, radiating ribs which bifurcate, forming two ribs of equal width on the lower region. The bifurcation of the ribs occurs over the whole of the shell including the posterior as well as the anterior region of concaveness. Under the microscope these ribs show a beaded character, which are most numerous on the anterior, umbonal slope; cardinal area very narrow. |
