Remarks
Original description from Tucker and Wilson (1932, p. 41):
“Shell somewhat thicker than typical A. rustica Tuomey and Holmes from the Waccamaw of South Carolina. Beaks only slightly elevated, sulcus absent. Auriculation well developed in young specimens. Usually only sixteen ribs. Interspaces deeply excavated, usually same width as interspaces. None of the posterior ribs increase as markedly in width as do those in A. rustica. Height 51; width 39 mm. Specimens in the Cornell Paleontology Museum from Acme, N. C. are apparently related to this species. However, both left valves show a strongly marked sulcus. Holotype.–Paleont. Mus., Cornell Univ. Localities—-Port Mayaca, Fla.; Prairie Creek, Fla.; LaBelle, Fla.”
