- Striae lineolate
- Distal raphe fissures dorsally deflected
The valve outline is very slightly asymmetric to the apical axis, so that valves are nearly naviculoid in appearance. The raphe is positioned in a nearly central position on valve. The distal raphe fissures are deflected dorsally. Each areola is, more specifically, a lineola. Therefore, striae are lineolate. Valves lack apical pore...
