Dorsal valve flatly convex with moderately high, subtriangular pseudointerarea divided by broad, shallow median groove. Ventral interior with ridge-like apical process anterior to foramen, occluding umbonal area in some species; ventral mantle canal system pinnate. Dorsal interior with weak median buttress and low median ridge.
