from each other. The tunic is completely embedded with rests of sand and fragments of algae and sea shells. Thin and evenly distributed hair-like processes also cover the totality of the body. Once all the external material is removed, the tunic appears delicate and transparent. The oral and atrial apertures have six pointed lobes. There is a short oral velum that may be smooth or bear small papillae. Seven two-sized oral tentacles of the third order are placed in a single circle alternately with numerous minute ones. One of the bigger tentacles is situated exactly in the mid-dorsal line. The slightly undulated pre-pharyngeal band lies away from the tentacular circle. It forms a deep V that surrounds the dorsal tubercle and part of the neural ganglion. The dorsal tubercle is “funnel-shaped” (

). The broad dorsal lamina has smooth margins and extends until the entrance of the esophagus. The musculature is composed of a series of strong longitudinal fibers that radiate from both apertures and extend until the mid-ventral side of the body (from 24 to 27 per aperture), two dorsal muscular bands that enclose the neural complex, thin and densely packed circular muscles, and a series of short latero-dorsal fascicles unevenly distributed. The branchial sac bears seven folds on the right side and six on the left. The stigmata are long and curved, forming spirals at the top of the infundibula. The number of infundibula per fold ranges from seven to nine and may be single or double. The branchial formula on the right side of one of the biggest specimens is:

The short esophagus connects with a stomach completely covered with liver lobes. The intestine is long. The primary intestinal loop forms an open curve, while the secondary loop forms a semicircle that runs adjacent to the stomach. The border of the anus is smooth. There are two elongated S-shaped gonads on each side of the body. The pear-shaped testes are distributed on the margins, while the ova reside in the center. They extend until the distal bend of the primary intestinal loop, never superpassing it (
