Description "The shape is rectangular, with the greatest height anteriorly and the greatest length at mid-height. The ventral outline is straight and only slightly concave at the oral region, while the dorsal outline is also straight, featuring five short, thin, vertically arranged ridges best seen from above. The anterior is evenly rounded, adorned with 14 short spines, and the posterior is obtuse, with seven spines of variable size, typically longer than those in the anterior. The posterior cardinal angle has a very short, flat spine (only in the left valve) that points posteriorly almost horizontally.
The ventral ridge is well developed, culminating in a pronounced terminal spine, with two adjacent spines nearby, and it ends near the anterior margin. The ocular ridge is not developed, but the eye tubercle is well defined. The thin but pronounced dorsal ridge begins at an angle immediately in front of the posterior cardinal angle (best seen in dorsal view) and extends parallel to the dorsal outline for three-quarters of its total length, sloping downwards as it merges into the meshwork.
The surface is completely covered with a low, irregularly shaped reticulate network, where most meshes possess a single pore, each filled with a dense, fine secondary perforation. There are 30-35 mostly straight but sometimes bifurcate anterior marginal pore canals and 10-15 simple posterior pores. The hinge is holamphidont, with the median hinge bar well crenulated on its horizontal platform, while all other internal features follow the typical structure of the genus." (Jellinek, T. & Swanson, 2003: 63)

Diagnosis "A medium-sized Bradleya species characterized by a well-developed ventral ridge, absence of an ocular ridge, a well-pronounced eye tubercle, and a reticulation that consists of a very subdued reticulate network." (Jellinek, T. & Swanson, 2003: 63) [details]
Etymology "In honour of Miss Claudia Franz, technical assistant of one of the authors (TJ), who completed the laborious task of picking and sorting the samples." (Jellinek, T. & Swanson, 2003: 63) [details]
