Description "Carapace medium sized; elongate subrectangular; ornamented with stong longitunal and marginal ridges and intervening trabsverse costae which form large reticules giving overall coarsely reticulate appearance; the main ridge are an antero - to ventromarginal ridge, a curved dorsal ridge, and an irregular median ridge (genus character); valves denticulate anteriorly and to less extent posteriorly where there is a short caudal process, eye tubercle indistinct connected by riblets to the dorsal and median ridges; immediately below the eye tubercle is a large subcircular reticule; greatest height anteromedial and about half the lenght; greatest breadth postcromedial due to posteroventral expansion of the valves and over half the lenght. Inner lamellae moderately broad, without vestibules and with numerous flexous to straight marginal pore canals; normal pore canals include simple open and celated pores as well as sieve pores; hinge hemiamphidont; central muscle scars comprising four adductors in subventral series, plus two frontal scars and two mandibulars. Sex dimorphism as yet unconfirmed but likely to be distinct with ♀ relatively higher than ♂." (Howe; McKenzie,1989; 40) [details]
