Abstract
The anterior margin of the shell extends in front of the anterior lobe. The anterior ear is well developed whereas the posterior ear and sinus are absent. The byssal notch is broad. The hinge is shorter than the width of the shell and is devoid of teeth. Left valves are moderately convex. The posterior end of the shell meets the hinge almost at a right angle. Outer shell is dark grayishbrown with greenish tinge and radially distributed white spots. The nacreous layer is iridescent with a silvery sheen and the non-nacreous margin is black.
