Shell: delicate, moderately swollen, equivalve and inequilateral, yellowish-whitish in color; sculpture has thin pink concentric lamellae, well-spaced, curve, grooved on the outer surface, prolonged posteriorly to form a spoutlike process; in between lamellae are thin growth lines; very longe ligament deeply set in the dorsal margin runs from the umbones to the end of the hinge which is heterodont with only three cardinal teeth on each valve; muscle scars almost equal (dimyarian, isomyarian); Pallial line has a shallow sinus (sinopalliate). Body: pair of gills each has two series of lamellae extensively fused in interlamellar junctions (eulamellabranch); foot and siphon moderately developed.

Members of the class Bivalvia are mostly gonochoric, some are protandric hermaphrodites. Life cycle: Embryos develop into free-swimming trocophore larvae, succeeded by the bivalve veliger, resembling a miniature clam.
