Abactinal surface covered by dermis with widely spaced coarse granules, continuous with dermis on superomarginal plates. Skeleton reticulate. Granules larger, most widely spaced on distalmost arm surface but most coarse surrounding papular pore regions along arms. Papular pores, 6 to 30, mostly 12 to 20, present on disk and arms, but absent interradially. Papulae separated by mesh-like network, present especially on disk and along radial arm regions to armtip. Large granules interspersed between papulae on each papular pore. Prominent blunt spines present primarily along radial region along arms. Carinal series composed of one or two conical spines per plate, 11 to 16 along each arm at R=6.2, with largest spines present proximally, tapering out at approximately 80% of distance along the arm before the tip. Although most are full grown, some spines appear to be regrown and are only 25% of the size of the others. Two full adradial series of smaller, blunt spines in single series on either side of the carinal series with other shorter series of blunt spines along adradial arm regions on disk. Interradial regions devoid of spines or papulae, forming a “fold” which corresponds to contact between interradial superomarginal plates. Large bivalve pedicellariae, approximately
