Lighter colored, with alternating zones and with sharper and deeper concentric

nearly related species.

short, slightly arcuate, the valve margins slightly raised, the anterior end 
rounded ; posterior slope longer, straighter, posterior end attenuated and bluntly 
pointed ; basal margin prominently arcuate; surface smooth except for minute 
concentric undulations extending from the beaks to the base over the whole disk,

Just about the color of dark wet tea-leaves after they have been steeped. 
Longer and more pointed, and more attenuated behind, than 7. smirna, which has 
very similar sculpture but a more yellowish color. In looking from below, the 
series of hinge teeth seems uninterrupted, but the black color of the semi- 
internal resilium can be seen through the interstices, as it is situated above the 
tooth-line.
