They are always juveniles, sexually mature species not being present. Also they are unusual in apparently being numerous on the open sea floor and rooted in soft sediments rather than being fixed to hard coralline habitats in shallower waters and as well as being relatively common over an extensive expanse of the sea floor around Albany and Bald I., they are also common over a considerable depth range.</paragraph>

diameter), soft, and globular to gooseberry-shaped with a fur of root-like processes along the ventral part of the body and almost sessile apertures at opposite ends of the upper surface. Each aperture is surrounded by four large slightly protuberant triangular lobes of relatively thick test, but otherwise the test is thin, flaccid and translucent with a very fine coat of sand attached to the outer surface. Internally the body wall contains moderately crowded echinated spines characteristic of the genus. Some internal damage to many of these specimens appears to have been caused by the spicules becoming tangled in the body wall, branchial sac and the test possibly when specimens were agitated during collection. These reach only about halfway down the body wall. Some circular muscle bands also are present around each siphon. The dorsal tubercle has a C-shaped opening with the open interval turned slightly to the right and both horns turned in to varying extents. The branchial sac has up to nine broad branchial folds on the right side of the body and eight on the left. As reported in

), the gut forms an open loop around the posterior half of the left side of the body. The anus is bilabiate but each lip is broken up into irregular, relatively shallow rounded anal lobes. A single clump of compact liver lobules is in the pyloric region at the proximal end of the gut. On the left, the gonad is enclosed in the gut loop and the right gonad is in a symmetrical position on the right side of the body. Gonads are more or less straight club-shaped organs in all these specimens. They consist of convoluted ovarian tube with clumps of branched testis follicles along each side so that the testis follicles appear to take a convoluted course along the surface of the ovary. Each clump of testis follicles has vasa efferentia joining short vas deferens that open separately along the surface of the convoluted ovary. The oviductal opening, at the distal end of the ovary, is covered by a large hood from the internal body wall as shown in

Despite their small size relative to the size of mature specimens formerly reported for this species, some of these specimens are sexually mature, and there is a possibility that they are a temperate species distinct from this well-documented tropical species. However, apart from their size, their habitat and their geographic location, a morphological character distinguishing these small specimens from

was not detected. The spirals of the slit on the dorsal tubercle are not so well developed and the convolutions of the ovarian tube and continuity of the band of clumps of testis follicles are not as conspicuous as they are in the larger tropical specimens. However these are some of the few probable age/size-associated characters in the specimens. The general form of the gut loop, liver lobes, gonads, gonoducal openings and body muscles are as previously described for this species.
