Short description Morfologi

Girdle: Wide with sparse flat glassy hairs having several recurved spines at the base. Mucro: Strongly posterior. Valves: Beaked slightly. Central areas: Longitudinally ribbed and where each rib touches the lateral area there is a granular pustule. Pustules: Form a heavy lateral rib; from this rib the central area rib continues at an oblique angle on the lateral areas until it again reaches a granular pustule at the posterior edge of the valve; pustules form another granular rib along the posterior edge of each valve. Color: Ranging from dull gray, grays with white, greens with yellows, whites with yellows, greens with red, greens with maroon with white mixed in (Ref. 296). Body: Oval to elongate (Ref. 290).
