• Irregular saw-toothed outline on dorsal edges on some conchostracan valves where growth bands do not end on same hinge line; may have various expression from strongly serrate (e.g., Paleolimnadiopsidae) to subdued serrate (e.g., extant Caenestheriellia) and pseudoserrate (e.g., some extant Cyzicus). [Moore and McCormick, 1969]
