Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. Breton et al. 1994Animal of rather large size, with a polygonal disk and short arms. Sides of the disc are nearly straight. They are 10 pairs of marginals per half-interradial arc. Same number of superomarginal and inferomarginal plates. Superomarginals are separated by abactinals to the arm tip. Superomarginals seem to be slightly smaller than inferomarginals. Marginals are squared, slightly larger than long. Actinolateral plates small, lozenge. Ornament not visible.
