Abstract

The shell is strongly asymmetrical in form, typically being much longer than tall. Shell typically has 5 distinct ribs. The ribs have numerous very tightly spaced but light scutes. However, these are typically eroded away by the burrowing activities in their natural habitat. It has numerous scutes present only on the upper portion of the shell. Upper margin is strongly curved and each valve is symmetrical to the other.
