Additional information The freshwater species were all taken at Colombo, but of the exact localities no record has been forwarded to me. The marine species, described in Part II. of this paper, were dredged in a depth of 2 fathoms. (Brady, 1886) [details]Additional information There are two forms of this species:-one, from which the description has been drawn up, tumid and rounded in its outlines, the other (probably the male) smaller, more slender, and angular. Both of these forms are here figured. If the more slender form be really the male, it is probably not full-grown, inasmuch as the males of Cythere are usually longer than the females. All these angular specimens are, however, in this case smaller than the rounded ones. (Brady, 1886). [details]
Diagnosis Shell, seen laterally, subquadrate, twice as long as broad, greatest height situated near the front; anterior extremity obliquely rounded, its lower half bordered with short equal teeth, posterior truncated, slightly emarginate above the middle but not toothed; dorsal margin forming an elevated angle over the anterior hinge- tubercle (which is large and glistening), thence sloping in an irregular sinuous line to the posterior extremity; ventral margin nearly straight seen from above, broadly ovate, widest behind the middle, scarcely twice as long as broad; posterior extremity wide and rounded, with a broad median prominence, anterior narrow, subtruncate. Surface of the shell marked everywhere with coarse angular impressions, and having one or more indis- tinct, flexuous, longitudinal ribs on the lateral aspect of the valves. (Brady, 1886). [details]
Dimensions Length of an inch 77 millim. (Brady, 1886) [details]
