Description Medium, moderately thin-shelled. Sub-rectangular to quadrate. Anterior regular convex and densely denticulate; extremity below midheight. Posterior bluntly convex with posterodorsal concavity in RV only; aproximately six long marginal denticles. Dorsal margin straight with anterior hinge ear and large posterodorsal spine in LV only. Ventral margin straigh tto slightly sinuous. Maximum length below mid-height, maximum height at anterior cardinal angle. Reticulum rather low. Ventrolateral ridge strong and straight with large spine at its postero termination; extending anteriorly into a rather weaker ocular ridge which is always parallel to the anterior margin. Dorsal ridge weak, narrow and flange-like, nonspinose. Bridge very low, suppressed. Remainder of reticulum rather low, irregular and evenly expressed over entire valve surface. Muri narrow sharply emphasized. Fossae rather small, secondarily reticulate. Densely foveolate. Solar pores often connulate. Blind. Internal features as for the genus. [details]
