Remarks

From Cleland (1911): Shell broadly elliptical or nearly circular. Brachial valve subconcial; the anterior side less convex than the posterior which is rather abrupt. Apex subcentral, about 1/3 the length of the shell from the posterior margin; marked by fine, fairly regular concentric lines of growth."
