Furrow spines, two to three, each compressed-oval in cross-section. Subambulacrals, one or up to three, typically with one very large, thick spine, round in cross-section and a second smaller spine approximately 50% of length of the taller one. Adambulacral plates with angular to pointed peripheral granules, seven to nine, widely spaced from one another. Adambulacral plates separated from other actinal plates with distinct fasciolar groove between adambulacral and actinal plate series.
