Oval shell; rounded anterior side; long and truncate posterior rostrum; right valve hinge with a strong posterior lateral tooth; radial ridge from the beaks to the ventral angle of the rostrum; rather evenly spaced commarginal lamellae, vanishing on the umbonal area and over the rostrum. Prodissoconch: shell type ST- 2D; length about 130 µm; ellipsoidal outline; convex profile; P-1 surface finely granulated; P-1/P-2 boundary illdefined; rim-like P-2; transition to the nepioconch well marked. Remarks . G.O. Sars (1878, p. 88) erroneously considered the valid species Neaera lamellosa M. Sars as conspecific with Neaera jugosa S. Wood. Actually , Cuspidaria jugosa (Wood S.V., 1857) , although subsequently put in synonymy of C. lamellosa by some authors (e.g. Nordsieck 1969 ), appears to be a different species, as Wood (1857: p. 272) described it as possessing “eight to ten rounded ridges, with depressions or sulci between them of about the same breadth”. Occurrence . Box-corer samples BC05 (2 specimens), BC66 (1), BC72 (6); core BC72 (2). Maximum length: 3.5 mm . Distribution and habitat . The species is found at outer shelf depths in Norway waters, and at deeper settings (down to 1100 m ) along both the Atlantic margins; it is an infaunal burrower inhabiting soft bottoms (Dall 1889[b]; Thomsen & Vorren 1986 ; Buhl-Mortensen & Høisaeter 1993 ; Oliver et al. 2016 ). Fossil record. Holocene of Norway ( Thomsen & Vorren 1986 ).
