. Aboral ossicular series of arms approximately equidimensional and closely fitted; smaller accessories not recognized. Carinal series differentiation suggested by some weak alignment; adradialia not recognized. Madreporite on aboral disk of larger specimens bordered laterally by enlarged, crescentic ossicles. Enlarged, subcircular, aligned ossicles lateral to arm midline recognized as superomarginal, series differentiation weakening on disk. Inferomarginals robust, approximately equidimensional, weakly increasing in size on disk. Intermarginals present but irregularity of size and alignment obscures delineation.Axillaries represented by two approximately elliptical ossicles, the more distal small, abutting inferomarginal series. Actinal definition poorly known, actinals restricted to disk, proximal arms appearing small, equidimensional, irregular.
