Arms long and narrow, tapering rapidly to a narrow tip. Paxillar area very narrow. Paxillae of disk with thin rod-shaped spinelets surrounding several central granules. Superomarginal plates wide and covered in granules, typically without spines. Inferomarginal plates typically with three or four fringe spines. Inferomarginal plate actinal surface with few or no squamules, resulting in bare patches surrounded by long acute spines. Adambulacral plates in the mid-arm region with three short, pointed furrow spines in the first row adjacent to the adambulacral furrow (furrow spines). Behind this first row of spines in large specimens is an acute central spine that is longer and wider than all other adambulacral spines. Between the furrow spines and this enlarged spine is a distinct bare patch on the actinal surface of the adambulacral plate. The other three sides of the enlarged spine are surrounded by a semi-circle of very short, thin spinelets. In wet specimens, these spinelets appear thicker and conical because of the epithelium. The enlarged spine of the subambulacral spines may be replaced by a pedicellaria in large specimens. Small specimens have fewer subambulacral spines of similar length arranged in two rows of three spines. Pedicellariae common in paxillar area and on adambulacral and actinolateral plates of large specimens.

Behind the furrow spines is a very large, long and tapered spine surrounded on the lateral sides and behind by small spines. It is the largest of the AD spines in length and width and is usually rounded to slightly compressed. Between this long spine and the furrow row is a distinct bare patch on the AD plate. Sometimes it or one of the other subambulacral spines is replaced by a pedicellaria (
