Description

Large with outline transversely ovate and profile biconvex. Beak prominent. Bisulcate with ventral sulcus usually more marked, anterior commissure weakly uniplicate to rectimarginate, serrate. Shells commonly asymmetrical, possibly resulting from crowding in monospecific groups. Costae numerous, rounded, arising at beaks, simple or sometimes dichotomous. Dental plates distinct, vertical to slightly convergent ventrally, well separated from valve walls, leaving large lateral umbonal cavities, teeth small, ventral muscle field only weakly impressed. Dorsal median septum long, low, septalium distinct, small, crura long, thin, closely set.
