|---|---|---|
| H. W. Rasmussen 1950 | An asteroid whose interradial marginals have been tall, evenly tumid, more or less wedge-shaped and abactinally swollen. The marginals of the arm have been distinctly lower, evenly tumid and not wedge-shaped. The outer surface of the marginals has been covered by closely placed spine-pits. There is often also a larger facet for the attachment of a spine at the junction between the lateral and abactinal parts of the outer surface. The surface directed towards the body cavity is evenly curved and without irregularities. |
