thick. They have a layer of sand attached to the base of the colony but sand is not included in the flexible but tough test nor is there any on the upper surface. Zooids are vertical and occupy almost the whole thickness of the colony. They are in straight double rows, although these are not always parallel. There are more or less parallel wrinkles on the soft upper surface of the colony. Depressions sometimes (but not always) extend between rows of zooids, but often the rows of zooids run at angles to the ridges. Living colonies have large protuberant common cloacal apertures, but the branchial apertures are depressed into the test. Terminal ampullae, dark blue in life, are crowded between the rows of zooids. In preservative specimens are pale dusty pink, the zooids being pinkish and the gut a brighter pink which shows through the translucent test. Small buds, one each side of the posterior end of the zooids, also are bright pink.

Small clumps of spherical (blood?) cells are at the ventral end of each row of stigmata (each side of the endostyle). Stigmata are in 1315 rows and are arranged according to the following formula: DL 5.2.3.3E. The proximal part of the gut is behind the branchial sac and a short narrow loop is horizontal or oblique. The rectum extends anteriorly to the atrial aperture. The barrrel-shaped stomach has 10 parallel longitudinal folds. An L-shaped caecum is in the gut loop. There are no gonads in these specimens.
