Furrow spines, thick with blunt tips, round to quadrate in cross-section, one or two per adambulacral plate. Adambulacral plates with no accessories other than the granulated tegument covering the body surface. Granulated tegument similarly covers the oral plate which has no other surficial accessories. One spine present on each oral plate (i.e., two directed into mouth) but as with the furrow spines, they are short, blunt with basal portion covered by granulated tegument.</paragraph>
