Muscles are not present on the left. A branchial velum is not present. About 25 long, thin tentacles are attached directly to the body wall. The prepharyngeal band of two thin lamellae is in a circle just behind the ring of tentacles. It is not indented dorsally. Papillae were not detected on the body wall between the tentacles and prepharyngeal band. A large, more than

long, ganglion is just behind a small simple dorsal tubercle. The dorsal lamina has two blades anteriorly which fuse near the middle of the ganglion, and continue posteriorly as a rather high single lamella with minute spaced indentations on the margin (

). The branchial sac is thin and delicate with much reduced tissue. It has more than 60 transverse vessels, and about 50 thread-like internal longitudinal vessels on each side supported on short papillae. Minute intermediate papillae are invariably present on internal longitudinal vessels. Parastigmatic vessels have not been detected in any part of the branchial sac. The stigmata are large, two to four per mesh. The gut forms a simple open, more or less J-shaped arc, its proximal limb shorter than the distal limb. The small stomach has shallow internal longitudinal plications and the border between its wider pyloric end and the intestine is obscure. The junction between the stomach and intestine is in the curve of the J, the stomach occupying a large part of the proximal limb. The rectum opens at the atrial opening in a smooth-rimmed anus. The ovary is spread over the intestine as a set of branched tubules. Male gonads and gonoducts were not detected. The whole gut loop excepting distal end of the rectum is embedded in a mass of renal vesicles, which are, however, transparent and may be easily overlooked.

The only previous records of this species are from one location in the NE Pacific (see above). The general shape of the body, position of siphons, shape of the gut loop, branched tubular ovary on but not inside the gut loop, absence of the branchial velum, and large neural ganglion are all as originally described for the species (see
