Diagnosis. Shells plano-convex or biconvex, sometimes becoming concavo- 

 convex with age. Brachial valve usually the deeper in the pallial region ; 

 pedicle-valve highest about the umbo, which is sometimes much extended, and 

 often shows a pronounced tendency to irregular growth. Surface covered with 

 slender, subequal radii, which are crenulated by sharp concentric striae. Hinge- 

 line long, equaling, and often greater than the width of the shell ; in some 

 species frequently showing a tendency to auriculation at the extremities. 

 Pedicle-valve with the cardinal area prominently developed ; the delthyrium 

 covered by a thick, more or less convex deltidium, which is rarely if ever per- 

 forated at maturity. On the interior the teeth are moderately large, sometimes 

 thickened, but not supported by dental plates. The muscular area is marked 

 by flabelliform cardinal scars, inclosing a small adductor impression; similar to 

 that in Rhipidomella, but often very faint. 



In the brachial valve the cardinal area is narrow, the deltidial covering 

 small and emarginate at the center. The cardinal process is united to the 

 crural plates, the whole forming a vertical subcrescentic process, most elevated
