| V. V. Baranov and R. B. Blodgett 2015 | Shell small, transversely oval-subpentagonal in outline, dorsibiconvex with dorsal valve more strongly arched than the ventral valve; the greatest width and thickness are located at mid-length; anterior margin truncated, anterior commissure denticulate. Costae rounded, arising in the posterior half of the valves, intercalating on the sinus and bifurcating on the fold. Ventral valve gently convex in lateral profile; flanks flat; beak incurved. Sulcus and fold are developed in the anterior half of valves; fold low and wide, weakly delineated from the lateral flanks; sulcus shallow and wide with a flat bottom; tongue trapezoidal. Foramen small, permesothyrid. Three to five costae located on the sulcus; four to six costae are present on the fold; and five to six pairs are present laterally on the flanks. Dental plates thin and short; apical lateral cavities filled by callus. Septalium in the apical part open, anteriorly it is covered by the inner hinge plate, and can be traced up to the point where the crura branch. Dorsal medium septum thin, extending more than one seventh of the valve length; crura raduliform. |
