Body stellate, disk thick, well defined arms, 5 to 15, round in cross-section. Abactinal surface composed of lobate plates in irregular reticulum, displaying variably close to wide articulation with single to large papular expression. Plates with variable accessories ranging from spines to paxillae. Marginal plates present in two series (following

Adambulacral plates wing-like, forming transverse series with interadambulacdral plate spaces filled with tissue. Adambulacral plate surface with variable spine expression projecting into furrow. Subambulacral spination variably expressed as individual spines, in tufts or as combs.
