Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D.I. MacKinnon 1985 | Low, slightly cyrtoconic univalves with a well developed transverse plate, or pegma, that projects ventrally from the anterodorsal shell wall, thus dividing the shell interior into two cavities of markedly unequal size; posterior cavity appreciably larger than the anterior. Shell showing relatively little lateral compression; aperture elongate oval. |
