Remarks: Smith (1885) described C. roseotincta from one right valve in which the anterior cardinal 
tooth was missing. A description of the teeth from an intact specimen is as follows: 
anterior lateral strong, peg-like; anterior cardinal thin, almost wafer-like, slightly concave joined at 
apex to posterior cardinal, separated from it by a deep socket; posterior cardinal thick at base, 
slightly concave; posterior lateral thin, moderately short, parallel to escutcheon; right valve anterior 
lateral pit deep; anterior cardinal strong, thin edged, separated by a deep slit from the posterior 
cardinal; posterior cardinal thick with deep pit separating it from the posterior lateral; posterior 
lateral thick. In addition Smith (1885), referred to 2 internal broad radial rose-pink rays towards the 
upper part of the valve. However, many of the specimens examined were white internally.
