The specific name websteri is in honor of Reverend William Henry Webster (died 1931) of Wauiku, New Zealand, who have sent specimens to the National Museum of Natural History.[1] Cucumerunio websteri then was described under the name Diplodon websteri by American malacologist Charles Torrey Simpson in 1902.[1]

Shell long, rhomboid, compressed or subcompressed, inequilateral;

beaks subcompressed, pointed, their sculpture apparently a few

irregular lachrymose nodules arranged in a somewhat radial pattern;

surface with uneven growth lines and impressed rest marks, sculptured throughout with lachrymose nodules which are often V-shaped,

those along the upper part of the low posterior ridge slightly

knobbed; epidermis dark olive green, clouded with lighter green,

rather dull; pseudo-cardinals small, subcompressed, granulose, two

in each valve ; laterals straight, two in the left valve, one in the

right; muscle scars small, shallow and irregular; nacre bluish,

lurid purple near and in the beak cavities, thicker in front.
