 Avicula, Klein, 1753, Ostrac. [Ety. avicula, 

 a little bird.] Very inequivalve, in- 

 equilateral, obliquely oval; hinge pro- 

 duced posteriorly into a flattened de-

 flattened, notched for the passage of 

 the byssus; anterior muscular im-

 linear, simple, placed on a narrow 

 marginal facet, extending from the

 tooth in each ; substance corneo-cal- 

 careous, lamellar without, pearly within.
