), barrel-shaped yellowish-white species, currently represented by only juvenile. Mouth covered by scales; tentacles 10, ventral-most two reduced; anal teeth present. Tube feet restricted to ambulacra in single, straight or zigzag rows. Calcareous ring simple. Polian vesicle single. Ossicles of body wall an external layer of baskets and an inner layer of plates. Baskets deep, cup-like, rims variable in form, with pronounced spines, best developed at corners, if rim squarish, or all round; base cross-shaped, spiny. Plates well developed, usually multilocular. Tube feet deposits include curved or straight, smooth perforated rods and plates, with slightly “spined”/knobbed margins. End-plates stellate. Tentacles with mostly smooth, perforated rods and plates.

Polian vesicle single, large, sac-like; stone canal short, straight, madreporite apparently beanshaped. Longitudinal muscles as single strands, retractors arise anteriorly. Gonad absent. Respiratory trees branched, right one longer, left one more branched, but restricted to posterior half of body. Cloaca elongate.
