Description
Shells small, L 2–3 mm, ovoid, slightly longer than high. Umbones prominent. Posterior dorsal margin straight. Sculpture of low rounded commarginal lamellae with narrow interspaces. Faint radial ribs visible to anterior and posterior. Microsculpture of dense fine punctae (2–3 µm in diameter). Protoconch: P1 = 188 µm, P1 + P2 = 242 µm, P2 with fine growth increments (South Georgia shell). Ligament short, protruding above posterior dorsal margin (Fig. 13J), set in shallow nymph. Escutcheon well defined, smooth. Lunule slightly impressed, broadly lanceolate. Hinge line narrow, left valve with two small cardinal teeth and anterior and posterior lateral teeth. Right valve with single, slightly bifid cardinal tooth and anterior and posterior lateral teeth. Anterior adductor muscle scar short, barely detached from pallial line, posterior adductor scar ovoid. Pallial line entire. Inner shell margin finely denticulate.
