«Shell compressed, thin, and ovately orbicular, a little higher than long, margin of the valves rounded at and below the middle, narrowing abruptly, obliquely and somewhat concavely under the ears above: shape of the ears not very perfeetly known: those of the right valve appear to be small, and unequal in size, the right being rather the larger of the two, triangular, straight above and truncated almost at a right angle at the sides.
Surface marked by about thirty very tlat radiating ribs of unequal breadth, which are crossed by minute, exceedingly numerous and densely crowded raised lines, or narrow and acute ridges. The radiating ribs, are nearly obsolete in the umbonal region, but are strongly marked on the lower half of the valves, and are separated by narrow and not very deep grooves. Dimensions of one of the most perfect specimens (the one figured): length, eighteen millimetres: height, twenty. South side of Maud Island: apparently abundant, but the specimens although well preserved are most of them very fragmentary.» JOSEPH FREDERICK WHITEAVES, 1884
