L. Villier et al. 2004 | Disk highly domed. Arms triangular, high. Primary interradial plates large, highly domed with a conical to rounded external face and a lobate, thick base. Abactinal plates, lobate, punctuated of varying size. R/r ratio nearly equals to two. In external view, radial plates of the arm hexagonal near the arm tip and T-shape in the constricted part of the arm. External face of plates with a depressed margin and raised central area with large granule pits. |
