The shell is oval-trigonal, obliquely inequilateral and tumid. 

 The sides are obtuse. The epidermis is olive-yellow and 

 polished. The striae are very distant and coarse. The beaks 

 are inflated and obtuse. The valves are thick. The interior is 

 pale rose color, with violet on the lateral teeth. The hinge is 

 very slightly curved and broad. 



Compared with Corbicula gracilis from the same locality, 

 this species is less inflated, less rounded in outline, the striae are 

 more distant, and the epidermis is lighter in color and less 

 highly polished.
