«Adamussium n. gen.
Shell very thin, roundish, with flat radial folds, exteriorly with denselyplaced concentric borders and microscopic radial lines, brownish, anteriorly and posteriorly gaping; hinge margin short; ears of the left valve obtusely angled; anterior ear of the right valve rounded and shallowly indented. Animal unknown.
A. colbecki (Edg. Smith) in the Antarctic Ocean. This species has such great similarity to Amussium, mainly in the form of the ears, that it probably belongs here, although the radial ridges are absent.» JOHANNES THIELE, 1934
