Description
Small to medium transverse corpus with long trail, ventral profile with weakly convex disk, weakly geniculate, flanks steep, nearly parallel, dorsal disk gently concave geniculate, corpus cavity moderately deep, rugae on both disks, weakly ribbed or smooth, spines fine, posteriorly on rugae, scattered anteriorly, curved row between umbonal slope and ears, dorsal valve with fine short spines, cardinal process bilobate, median septum long, lateral ridges, marginal ridges lost anteriorly. [Assigned to the Semicostellini of the Plicatiferinae if with strong geniculation and ribbing on trail, Ustritsky decided (1960) that the species described by Huang (1932, p. 38-41) was not Plicatifera minor (Schellwien) and renamed it P. huangi.]
