Extract

Definition.—Shell large, elliptical, subquadrate; valves moderately convex; inferior margin very slightly curved, almost straight; posterior end well rounded above, truncated below and straight, meeting inferior margin at rather more than a rightangle; cardinal margin very slightly arched, nearly straight, but passing gradually into posterior margin; anterior end rounded. Beak large, rounded, prominent, subcentral, elevated above hingeline, incurved, not directed forwards. Umbonal ridge nanow, straight, running obliquely backwards to posterior lower angle of valve and causing a slight angulation of the surface. Shell ornamented with regular equidistant sharp concentric lamellose striæ about 30–40 in number, rather suddenly bent at an obtuse angle on crossing the umbonal ridge.
