Shell large, obliquely sub-circular, or very broadly sub-ovate; margins regu¬ 
larly curved, slightly produced in front. 
Valves of moderate convexity. 
Beaks sub-central, somewhat prominent, rising a little above the liinge- 
line. Umbonal depression obscure.

prominent beaks, and with the shell more extended in the upper part. It also

and in the upper anterior extension and obliquity of the body of the shell.
