Shell : small, white, widely transverse (length of pedicle valve 2.1 mm, length of brachial valve 1.6 mm, width of shell 3.3 mm). Shell surface : almost smooth, but faintly faceted with two feeble ridges on each half of the valve ventrally and dorsally, middle ridges beeing moved aside (the middle ridges are stronger than the lateral ones). Tall area : inclined 45° to the plane of the shell, striated transversly. Deltidial plates : narrow, triangular, stretched out along the sides of rectangular hypothyrid open foramen which does not reach the umbo of pedicle valve. Pedicle collar: horizontal, flat and wide, grown together with the septum in its posterior half. Pedicle : short and flat, its attaching surface forming a brush of short filaments. No crura; descending branches of brachial loop attached posteriorly to the front of socket ridges and anteriorly to the back surface of pyramid-shaped septum; posterior part of the septum near the umbo forms a cavity for a brood pouch.
Lophophore : schizolophous.

Type locality: shipwreck "Mutiara", Bay of Palu, off Donggala Harbour, Sulawesi, Indonesia, at 30m.
Depth range: about 30 m

Small, thick, ventribiconvex shell, subpentagonal in outline with obtuse wing-like lateral extremities, lenticular in lateral profile. Four radial incipient costae on either valve in opposite folding. Shell surface regularly tuberculate under SEM examination. Rectimarginate anterior commissure and sinuous lateral commissure. Large pedicle collar not buttressed by the low blade-like ventral septum, which extends for two-thirds of the valve length. Obtusely pointed crural processes. Weakly defined descending branches fused up to the mid-valve with valve floor and raised on the lateral slopes and the posterior part ofthe dorsal septum. Dorsal septum rather low, narrowly subtriangular in lateral profile with anterior slope straight, not serrate nor tuberculate. Strong adductor muscles scars developed in the posterior part of the dorsal valve with one large ptmcta present on either internal side of these scars.
