Tentacles with platelets, the larger ones crescent-shaped with irregular projections (Fig. 38b). These platelets are up to 0.10 mm long. Pharynx with straight spiny rods, up to 0.05 mm long. Coenenchyme with capstans (Fig. 38c), 0.07-0.08 mm long and small clubs of similar length (Fig. 38d). Furthermore spindles (Fig. 38e), unilaterally spinose spindles (Fig. 38f) and unilaterally spinose spheroids (Fig. 38g) are present, 0.10-0.30 mm long. All with simple and complex tubercles. The calyces with additional clubs, up to 0.20 mm long (Fig. 38h). The axis has smooth and sparsely tuberculate rods (Fig. 38i).
