 [Ety. Lingula, a genus; opsis, appear- 

 ance.] In external appearance like 

 Lingula or Lingulella; the ventral valve 

 presents a small area, with a narrow 

 pedicle groove and a large lobed mus- 

 cular impression, which, in the cast, 

 extends as a narrow groove toward the 

 base of the shell; the ramifications of 

 the vascular lines originate at nearly 

 the same point as in existing Lingula, 

 hut do not extend so far backward to- 

 ward the beak. Type L. whitfieldi.
