Material. 3 specimens (1 C, 2 F).

Description. Medium-sized elongated carapace, sub-rectangular to bean-shaped and slender posteriorly in lateral view. Overlap of the larger LV over the smaller RV at free margins. Hmax at 1/3 anterior; Lmax median; Wmax posterior. Almost straight dorsal margin. Almost straight to slightly concave ventral margin. Convex anterior margin, more arched in its ventral part. Convex posterior margin, more arched in its dorsal part. Anterior part of the carapace higher than the posterior one. Posterior shoulders on each valve more or less marked. Surface ornamented with large reticles, with a pattern that runs more or less along the free margins. In ventral view, possible fine marginal ridules along the line of closure of the valves.

Discussion. Although they well remind the morphology of J. heddebauti Milhau, 1983 , none of these specimens is complete and well enough preserved to assign them without doubt to this species.

Occurrences. Middle Givetian (Candás Fm, mb C), Asturias (Peran-Perlora section).
