across with an irregular outline. The surface has numerous wide common cloacal apertures each on a short raised cylinder of tunic. Each aperture corresponds to a systems independent common cloacal cavity. The oral openings of the zooids form irregular rings around these common clocal apertures, and after fixation in formalin they, too, protrude a little at the colony surface.

The tunic is opaque, very dark, and soft, but the surface layer is more elastic. When fixed, the colonies are very contracted and curled, the upper surface becoming concave. The tunics pigment diffuses in formalin but not in alcohol. The zooids (

) lie perpendicular to the colony surface and are almost black. Both siphons are tubular, narrow, with plain rims. Equal to or slightly longer than the oral siphon, the cloacal siphon is located anteriorly in the thorax and opens into the common cloacal cavity of the system. Sixteen long oral tentacles are distributed along two circles. The neural ganglion is very close to the tentacle ring. Muscles make a strong sphincter around each siphon. Some thin transverse fibres run between the siphons, and, starting from the oral siphon, six to eight thin, regularly spaced longitudinal bundles run down each side of the thorax toward the abdomen. These longitudinal fibres join to make two ribbons on the wall of the abdomen itself, converging toward the posterior part of the gut loop, where they make an anchoring point. A few muscle fibres extend into a postabdominal process.
