When fixed in formalin the tunic is translucent and has a solid consistency. It contains a network of anastomosed blood vessels ending in small ampullae just under the surface, corresponding to small surface papillae. Numerous cells fill the vascular network.

. The only difference with our sample is the clearly posterior position of the cloacal siphon in Tokiokas specimens. The shape of the gut is the same with a marked enlargement of the posterior intestine and a short rectum opening well below the top of the intestinal loop. Tokioka and Nishikawa both figured variable dorsal tubercles, often with multiple openings, but this is not the case in our specimens.
