Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. R. C. Reed 1917 | Shell subquadrate to semielliptical, strongly concavo-convex; valves closely appressed, sometimes subauriculate; hinge-line equal to (rarely less than) maximum width of shell; cardinal angles usually rectangular. Pedicle-valve swollen, moderately to strongly convex, not geniculated but regularly arched; lateral angles sometimes flattened; beak small, not much incurved; hinge-area triangular, rather narrow, steeply inclined to plane of valve, with triangular delthyrium. Interior of pedicle-valve with small subcircular forked muscle-scar, well defined at sides, less than one-fourth the length of valve, composed of two flabellate diductors divergent anteriorly, with narrow elongate adductor scar between them; teeth small. Brachial valve regularly concave, with inconspicuous beak and narrow hinge-area nearly at right angles to plane of valve. Interior of brachial valve with strong submarginal thickening coarsely corrugated radially; cardinal process large, thick, prominent, bilobed, deeply cleft to base, with grooved subtriangular face to each lobe; crural plates stout, thickened, continued round posterior adductors; muscle-scars deeply sunk; posterior adductors transverse, subcircular; anterior adductors elongate, forming much narrower less-defined scar in front. Ovarian areas closely pitted. Shell finely punctate. Surface of shell covered with 30-50 primary thread-like regular equidistant equal riblets, with usually a secondary one arising in each interspace at half their length midway between them; primaries and secondaries all equal in strength and equidistant on margin; 3-7 much finer radial lines in each interspace between primaries and secondaries; short concentric corrugations near hinge-line sometimes present. |
