Diagnosis "Carapace small, somewhat ear-shaped mainly in LV lateral view. LV conspicuously larger than RV; overlap pronounced in dorsal region and immediately above the caudal process. Surface ornamented by costae and reticulae. Ribs predominantly low, thick and somewhat truncated. Ocular tubercle well developed, crossed by a strong rib. Ventro-lateral rib not superimposed on the corresponding margin. Posterior region with vertical rib bifurcated at the top and the bottom. Accommodation groove well developed. Hinge holamphidont; LV posterior socket with a conspicuous aurila-tooth and an auxiliary anti-slip tooth at its posterior end (sensu Jellinek, 1995). Central muscle scars with three frontal and four adductors (1+2+1+1). The frontal ones sometimes not well defined; upper and middle scars frequently somewhat anastomosed. Large duplicature with anterior vestibule. Radial pore- canals numerous, simple and straight. Sexual dimorphism not prominent; females a bit higher and longer."
