Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. G. Carter et al. 2011 | Nacrolopha is characterized by a posteriorly instead of posterodorsally positioned posterior adductor scar, a posterior pedal retractor scar that is partially confluent with the posterior adductor scar, a minute, anterior adductor scar, and a nacroprismatic left valve that lacks foliated structure, structural chambering, and chalky deposits. This diagnosis applies to the genus and to its type species. |
