|---|---|---|
| A. Valette 1929 | Sea star of relatively large size, stellate, with five slender arms regularly tapering to the tip. Arm tip rounded. Disc pentagonal, large, covered with small thick paxilliform abactinal plates. In life, the disc was probably domed. Marginal plates of relatively large size, with an external face covered with small granular spines inserted on fine rounded pits. Superomarginal plates joining near the arm tip. Terminal large and bulge like. There are three rows of abactinal plates at midlength of the arm. Abactinal rows are differentiated in the disc. Carinal plates, slightly larger, are the only abactinal row extending to the arm tip, the other two rows disapearing at about ¾ of the arm. Madreporite located interradially, at mid distance between the center and the disc margin. |
