«Testa A. Alcocki simillima, sed minus circularis, angulo apicali acutiore, lamellis valvae sinistrae magis prominentibus, lineis radiantibus fere omnino carentibus, lirisque intemis gracilioribus, praecipue illis prope medium valvarum plus minus obsoletis.
Longit. 25 millim., alt. 33, diam. 6.5. Hab. Andaman Sea, in 688-922 fathoms.
Both in this species and A. Alcocki the straight hinge-line of the right valve is slightly serrated. The umbonal angle in this form is scarcely greater than 90°, and the general outline is higher in proportion to the length. The interior towards the outer margin is beautifully pearly.» EDGAR ALBERT SMITH, 1894
