Emended diagnosis.—“Entomozoaceans” with bean−shaped or symmetrically to asymmetrically ovoid lateral outline, rarely with a weak anteroventral indentation; dorsal margin curved or straight, shorter than carapace length. Adductorial sulcus concave toward anterior end or straight; posteroventral sulcus present (subfamily Bouciinae ) or absent; muscle scar as a smooth patch (but sometimes composed of many tiny scars), a pit or absent. Ornament usually present, consisting of transverse, longitudinal, spiral, concentric or irregular pattern of ribs, in some cases reduced to minute spines (modified after Gooday 1983).
