Description
editSmall to large, triangular to subquadrangular in outline; rectimarginate to paraplicate; beak erect, without beak ridges; foramen small to large, mesothyrid, attrite, symphytium concave. Hinge teeth small, weak; pedicle collar very short. Cardinalia lamellar with excavate inner and outer hinge plates separated by narrow crural bases; inner hinge plates converging on median septum to form V-shaped septalium; cardinal process not differentiated; median septum low anteriorly, extending beyond midvalve; adult loop teloform.[2]
