Description " Large. Thick-shelled. Translucent with single, small, elliptical opaque patch subcentrally. Bairdoppilate in lateral view ; elliptical in dorsal.Anterior asymmetrically rounded; anterodorsal slope slightly concave; anteroventral slope broadly convex; apex almost a right angle at mid-height in LV, just above mid-height in RV. Posterior cavolate, upswept, more so in RV, extremity well below mid-height; posterodorsal slope gently convex, concave near extremity; posteroventral slope more convex in LV than RV.

" (Titterton & Whatley, 1988: 114) [details]Diagnosis "Bairdoppilate; posterior excavated, upswept. Valve surface coarsely puctate; puncta decrease in size peripherally. Contact groove of RV divided lengthwise, smooth dorsally and with fine locellae ventrally ; auxiliary dentition well developed. Large opaque patch elliptical, subcentral, irregular in outline" (Titterton & Whatley, 1988: 114) [details]
