«Pliocene marls of the Caloosahatchie River; Dall and Willcox.
Shell strong, rounded, with seventeen coarse, rounded ribs with narrower interspaces, overrun by close-set, prominent, slightly wavy, strong concentric lamellation; near the basal margin the ribs and interspaces are marked with a few sharp radial stria?; submargins and ears with smaller radial threads similarly lamellose; notch narrow, deep; ctenolium present, short ; interior of the disk strongly fluted, lirate; cardinal crura strong, auricular crura feeble. Alt. and lat. 31, semidiam. 7 mm. A single adult right valve and numerous immature ones were obtained. The valve figured is a little irregular. The young shells are proportionately flatter and with wider ears. They have, as often observed in the young of P. exasperatus, in some cases three or four of the ribs more prominent than the rest, and the lamellation worn off from the tops of the ribs or incomplete there. The species is named in honor of Professor G. D. Harris, of Cornell University, whose work on the Eocene fossils of the Southern States is well known.» WILLIAM HEALEY DALL, 1898
