A large patch is situated beyond the costal three-fifths, consisting of three inconspicuous longitudinal short black stripes.

Etymology
The species name refers to the angle at the basal two-thirds on the ventral margin of the valve and is derived from Latin ventr- (meaning ventral) and angulatus (meaning angulate).[2]
