catenate ornamentation of Г. zealandica Hutt. Margins smooth and 
bordered by a wide bevel edge as in L. zealandica.  Hinge-plate strong, 
with about six teeth on each side, but much obscured by matrix. Li 
mental area obscured, but produced on each side into rather prominent 
ears, the anterior being especially elevated. Interior filled with matrix. 
Height, 22-3 mm. ; length, 20 mm. ; diameter of single valve, 7-5 mm. 
Holotype in the author’s collection. 
Locality Dowling Bay limestone (Awamoan). 
Remarks.—Closely allied to L. zealandica Hutt., seeming at first sight 
to be only a crushed specimen of that species ; but it is difficult to see how 
the shape could have been so materially altered and the anterior ear so 
produced without breaking the shell. The specimen is certainly a little 
distorted, but, even allowing for this, it does not seem referable to any 
New Zealand or Australian species.

so bold. Keel tubercles not spinose and serving only to mark posterior ends

wider. Body-whorl with about twenty prominent spiral ribs extending
