Characterization
– Thin-shelled subtrapezoid to subovate to subtrigonate species, usually flat and trigonoid in juvenile stages. The posterodorsal keel is poorly delimited, the low angle posterior bend is rounded. The posterior ridge is subrounded. It is more pronounced in juvenile stages and fading in adult stages. The species has 19–26 posterior ribs. Interspaces are about half to equal width of the ribs. Anterior ribs are sometimes poorly developed and rib width increases towards the posterior keel. Beak is protruding, the hinge is thin. The location of the semidiameter in juveniles is on the posterior ridge but in adults becomes located towards the center of the shell.
Ecology
– Unknown (extinct).
