Body pentagonal or subpentagonal. Thick epidermis. Dense and granuliform abactinal armaments. Central disc plates circular, imbricating irregularly. Gonopores visible, piercing through the proximal-most superomarginal plates. Madreporite with branching grooves. One row of dorsal-lateral plates on each side of a row of carinal plates until arm tip. Terminal plate slightly trapezoidal. Inferomarginals more elongate than adjoining superomarginals. Short adambulacral spines covered with thick epidermis.
