Body stellate (R/r=3.06), arms elongate, triangular. Body covered by hemispherical granules, spinelets absent. Abactinal plates flat to weakly convex, bare other than pedicellariae. Large abactinal plates on arms, strongly tumid, in 46 series, arm plates at least twice as large as those on disk. Superomarginal plates forming distinct frame when viewed dorsally. Marginal plate lateral surface with 24 paddle-shaped alveolar pedicellariae; three or more present interradially, decreasing to two or fewer distally. Marginal plates smooth and bare, save for flattened, round granules, 2030 on abactinal surface of superomarginals, lower surface of inferomarginals. Furrow spines 68, triangular in cross-section. Subambulacrals three, with jagged, broad tips, each approximately twice as thick as the adjacent furrow spine. Each adambulacral plate with a large clam-like pedicellaria similar to those on abactinal surface with four jagged, well-spaced teeth on each valve.

Plates on arms gradually transition to larger and differing from those on disk. Disk plates round to polygonal in shape, each with 130 widely separated, coarse, deciduous granules. Plates on disk with many granules and pedicellariae. Pedicellariae paddle-shaped, valves thin, each with 710 teeth, present on approximately 40% of plates, with greatest occurrence proximally, especially along papular and other proximal regions. Interradial regions, adjacent to superomarginal contact with plates smaller bearing fewer (13) granules, and no pedicellariae. Abactinal arm plates at base wider and larger, 13 times the width of proximal disk plates. Disk plates adjacent to the arms similar in size to basal arm plates. Carinal and adradials along arm acutely convex with greater numbers of granules, each bearing up to 25 at arm midpoint. Granules begin to disappear 810 superomarginals away from arm tip. Plates flat, surfaces bare and smooth. Abactinal plates along arm decrease at this point from three or four at arm base to a single series adjacent to arm tip. Distalmost superomarginal plates abutted approximately three superomarginals from arm tip. Madreporite hexagonal, convex, rising above body surface with strongly developed sulci, flanked by eight plates. Anus not evident.</paragraph>

Marginal plates, approximately 2730 per arm side (full interradius 5460, arm tip to arm tip). All marginal plates with quadrate granules, approximately 1520 per side, 6080 surrounding the plate periphery of each. Superomarginal and inferomarginal plates with strong 1:1 association in each interradius showing associated plates to arm tip. Lateral edge rolled, showing not just the superomarginal but the inferomarginal plate surface from dorsal view. Superomarginal plates wide, quadrate in shape, with rounded edges. Superomarginal abactinal-lateral edge round; plate in cross-section is mound-like. Superomarginal surface with 135 widely spaced coarse granules, mostly 2025 on superomarginal plate surface, in addition to 13 clam-shell pedicellariae, identical to those on the abactinal surface. Granule and pedicellariae abundance greatest interradially, decreasing from 35 proximally to a single or absent granule or near arm tip. Inferomarginal plates with identical

Approximately half positioned at upper end of inferomarginal plate, other half on inferomarginal plate surface adjacent to actinal plate contact. Distalmost superomarginal plates abutted, with no granules, pedicellariae on surface. Terminal plates triangular to conical in shape.

Individual plates quadrate to irregular in shape. Each actinal plate with a peripheral ring of 1030 (mostly 2025) widely spaced angular, quadrate granules. A large clam shell-shaped pedicellaria with multiple valves is present at the centre of nearly all actinal plates.</paragraph>

Spines are pointed, with jagged tips, angular to triangular in cross-section, arranged in concave arc. Subambulacrals three, with jagged, broad tips, each approximately twice as thick as the adjacent furrow spine. Each adambulacral plate has a large clam-like pedicellaria similar to those on the abactinal surface, with four jagged, well-spaced teeth on each valve. Further subambulacral spination/granules on adambulacral plate similar in shape and size to granules on actinal plate surface.</paragraph>
