Description. Shell up to c. 30 mm high, most specimens under 20 mm; thin, weakly inflated, almost equally convex, inequivalve, inequilateral, weakly prosocline, anterior auricles considerable larger and longer than posterior ones, umbonal angle c. 90°; colour pastel, whitish, cream, orange or pink with pale radial or divergent streaks and/or blotches.

Both valves sculptured with 20–24 unevenly spaced, narrow radial plicae (crests weakly convex on left valve, more acuminate on right valve) until central part of the disc; increasing by intercalation of scaly secondary riblets on each side of primary plicae from centre of disc to ventral margin. Widely spaced commarginal lamellae in interspaces, each lamella weakly frilled by traces of antimarginal ridgelets. Pre-radial microsculpture of antimarginal ridgelets crossed by prominent commarginal ridges. Auricles strongly ridged and scaly. Byssal notch moderately deep, byssal fasciole broad. Functional ctenolium well-developed, with c. 4–6 teeth.

Dimensions. Illustrated specimen: NSW, E of Broken Bay, 410–506 m ( AM C.142144): rv: H 30.0, L 28.7 mm; lv: H 30.1, L 28.4 mm; D 7.9 mm. Iredale (1925: 253) stated the dimensions of the two syntypes (which he evidently thought represented one specimen) of Chlamys famigerator as rv: H 15, L 14 m; lv: H 17, L 16 mm .

Habitat. Living in the sublittoral to bathyal zones, amongst rubble or shell debris on soft sediment (sand and mud).

Distribution. Widespread around southern Australia, ranging from southern Queensland (21°S) southwards and westwards to the Rottnest Shelf (25°S) off Western Australia. Present specimens alive at 18– 500 m.

Remarks. For comparison with the closest Recent congener Talochlamys dichroa ( Suter, 1909) from New Zealand see Beu (1995: 18), Beu & Darragh (2001: 95), and Dijkstra & Marshall (2008: 51, figs 42–45).
