Edgecomensis.— Suborbicular; height not quite equal to the length; lower valve-ribs 16 to 17, prominent, but not elevated, square or convex-depressed, not quite as wide as the intervening spaces, radiately lined with finely squamose striae, most conspicuous towards the margins, interstices of ribs carinated, in the middle squamose and finely striated; ears with fine close unequal squamose radiating lines, the larger ones most prominent on the posterior side; margins of ligament pit carinated.
Locality. Edgewood Co., North Carolina. Cab. Smithsonian Institution. Allied to P. eboreus; the carina between the ribs distinguish it from that species. (Miocene.)» TIMOTHY ABBOT CONRAD, 1862
