«Shell minute, thin, surface smooth, not polished, valves rather flat, ears small, subequal in the right valve and unequal in the left. Fine rugose striae on the ears of the right valve, vertical to the hinge line but not reaching it, but they run down over the submargin. One ear in the left valve with five or six radiating ribs, the other smooth; interior smooth, the cardinal margin cross striated.
Alt. 3 mm., lat. 3 mm. of the largest specimen. Localities: Red Bluff, Miss., Jackson, Miss. This little shell is evidently adult. It is probably found at Vicksburg also. It is not rare, closely resembles Pecten Guppyi Dall in form, but is smaller.» TRUMAN HEMINWAY ALDRICH, 1903
