From his illustrations these sclerites appear to be compact radiates or spheroids with sparse ornamentation and a median waist. Based on examination of material collected by Carlgren (and apparently not the material of Thomson), Broch (1939) concluded that there was wide variation in the degree of polyp armature and presence of interior sclerites among specimens, and consequently synonymized
