Material.— One valve, SMF373091 About SMF ; one valve, SMF373092 About SMF ; one valve, SMF373089 About SMF ; one valve, SMF373090 About SMF . Northern Indian Ocean, Krishna-Godavari Basin , Bay of Bengal, offshore eastern India, 15°51.6335’ N, 81°50.2274’ E, 1046 m water depth, 16.18–16.48 mbsf level, core NGHP-01-12A; Upper Pleistocene. For additional material see Table 1 GoogleMaps .
Description.—Small fragile, thin, flat, pectiniform shell. Right valve flattened with regular commarginal growth lines and microscopic radial etchings; large anterior auricle with irregular growth lines and deep byssal notch; smaller posterior auricle. Left valve flattened smooth with irregular growth lines; large anterior auricle without byssal notch; smaller posterior auricle. Prodissoconch subcircular, convex, length 100 μm. Largest incomplete valve has a diameter of 3 mm.
Remarks.—Only fragments of smooth left and right valves were found. The placement in Propeamussiidae is speculative; an alternative placement in Pectinidae is feasible.
