ETYMOLOGY. — Left valve commarginally wrinkled and ruffled (Latin
corrugata
, adjective meaning wrinkled or ruffled).
DISTRIBUTION. —
Papua New Guinea
, live in
4-20 m
(maximum depth range),
5-20 m
(minimum depth range).
DESCRIPTION
Shell
Up to
2.8 mm
high, fragile, strongly posteriorly oblique, inequivalve, inequilaterial, wider than high, lv opaque whitish, rv translucent. Shape irregular, variable, typically changing during ontogeny, commonly associated with change in spacing of commarginal lamellae (habitat constriction).
Prodissoconch
220 µm
long, lv larval shell conical and granular, rv larval shell almost flat with irregularly spaced ridges and weak radial grooves.
Left valve
Disc with 3-6 weak radial plicae, lacking in some specimens, in early ontogeny smooth (
c.
0.3-0.5 mm
high), after that very closely spaced commarginal lamellae commence and develop to the periphery; on lamellae, very closely set small nodules present at intersections, resembling pearl strands; auricles similarly sculptured and continuous with disc, posterior auricle distinctly larger than anterior; interlamellar spaces narrow, with very closely spaced radial threads with convex crests, lacking in some specimens; ventral margin weakly angular to slightly convex.
Right valve
Disc and all but dorsal border of posterior auricle with outer layer of commarginal hexagonal prisms, more elongate in late ontogeny. Posterior auricle continuous with disc, smooth; anterior auricle distinctly demarcated from disc with 3-4 nodulous radial threads. Byssal notch of moderate depth, byssal fasciole rather broad.

. REMARKS
The present species resembles three congeneric species, viz.
Cyclochlamys nepeanensis
(Pritchard & Gatliff, 1904)
, known from southeastern and southern
Australia
,
Cyclochlamys incubata
(
Hayami & Kase, 1993
)
from
Japan
, and
Cyclochlamys irregularis
Dijkstra & Marshall, 2008
from
New Zealand
. All of these species have nodules on the intersections of the commarginal lamellae and radial riblets of the left valve, although much more widely spaced than on the left valve of the present species (
C. corrugata
n. sp.
combined together,
C. nepeanensis
,
C. incubata
, and
C. irregularis
with strongly variable interspaces, 6-10 per mm on central part of disc). Moreover, the shape of
C. corrugata
n. sp.
is strongly posteriorly oblique and in most specimens with a more or less angular ventral margin, with angulations caused by the radial plicae (
C. nepeanensis
is circular,
C. incubata
weakly posteriorly oblique, and
C. irregularis
circular to slightly posteriorly oblique; all lack radial plicae).
Smooth specimens from stn KB50 (lv) and KS61 (
2 lv
) are close to or a smooth variant of
C. corrugata
n. sp.
, viz. the faint granular sculpture on the anterior auricle of the left valve of stn KB50 is very similar to that of
C. corrugata
n. sp.
