Description.
LV globosesubtriangular in lateral view, anterior conspicuously more broadly rounded than posterior, not caudate, dorsal margin highly arcuate, posterior margin upswung. RV subhexagonal in lateral view, anterior and posterior similarly broad, posterior upswung, slightly caudate, dorsal margin trisegmented, posterior segment slightly concave and shorter than anterior segment, ventral margin sinuous. Valve surface of adults smooth. Normal pore canals large, numerous, with conspicuous rim, sensilla very numerous, and of variable length (from small to long). Barbed fringe, but no denticles, present anteriorly and posteriorly on RV. No fringe or denticles present on LV. Calcified inner lamella mediumsized, vestibules constricted. Hinge anterior and posterior elements with 5 well developed denticles and sockets. Nine adductor muscle scars present, eight of them positioned in a circle surrounding the ninth scar.
Podomere VI of AII with 3 robust terminal claws, fused claw shorter than other 2 claws, exopodite with 2 tiny setae and 1 long seta. Md with 5 trifurcate teeth. MxI with several feathered, broad claws, palp with 3 dorsal, 1 ventral, and 1 distal setae, and 1 broad, robust, feathered distal claw. Fu with (from distal to proximal) one medium sized and 1 long claws, plus 6 mediumsized setae. Genital lobe globose, with short, coiled, internal tube.
Remarks.
The specimens herein identified as
Bairdoppilata
sp. 5 were identified by
Hartmann (1974)
as
Bairdoppilata
sp. 44, and assigned to
B. simplex
by
Dingle (2003)
.
Bairdoppilata
sp. 5 presents: (1) more globose carapace; (2) more conspicuous hinge denticulation; (3) anterior and posterior, barbed fringes on RV; (4) and more numerous sensilla than
B. simplex
(
Fig. 16
).
Hartmann (1974)
described a very strong sexual dimorphism for his
Bairdoppilata
sp. 44, but actually he was dealing with at least 2 different species (
Bairdoppilata
sp. 5 and
B.
sp. 6 herein).
