From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Medium, inflated, thick-shelled, subrectangular in lateral view with subparallel dorsal and ventral margins. Surface covered by concentric reticulation, consisting of ‘T’-shaped muri and deep fossae whose openings are slit-like in lateral view. Holamphidont hinge with stepped anterior tooth and bulb-like posterior tooth. Avestibulate; frontal scar single and rounded. (Whatley & Zhao, 1987) [details]Dimensions (in .mm) . Length Height Width RV 0.65 0.41 . (Whatley & Zhao, 1987) [details]
Distribution Recent, beside Hong Kong, it has been widely encountered in bottom sediments of the South
and East China Seas (Wang & Zhao, 1985; Zhao et al.. 1985) and of the Malacca Straits (Whatley & Zhao, in press). (Whatley & Zhao, 1987)

Remark This species is very readily identified by its diagnositic reticulation of ‘T’-shaped muri. C. euplectella illustrated by Brady (1880) and Puri & Hulings (1976) has reticulation which lacks these characteristic muri and is evidently not conspecific with Brady’s 1869 type material. We tentatively refer this species to Lankacythere Bhatia & Kumar, 1979 based mainly on its hinge and its deep and concentric fossae, despite the fact that the posterodorsal rib, one of the diagnostic feature of this genus, is not developed.
