Dorsal valve flattened, greatest convexity a little below the beak, 2:ently sloping to the front and lower lateral margins, more abruptly curving to the cardinal extremities; at the middle of the base a shallow depression, which continues aboutone-half of the dis. tance to the beak. Ventral valve more convex, greatest con- vexity about one-third the length from the beak; beak incurved and projecting beyond the area line. Surface marked by conspicuous radiating strias, which are sometimes of uniform size, but usually near the base there are very fine alternating striae. The large stria3 are marked at in-. .{889.\.
