Diagnosis. A genus of Zenometrinae in which the large centrodorsal is columnar, 

 broadly truncated conical, or conical with the radial areas delimited by prominent 

 rounded ridges; the cirrus sockets are arranged in contiguous pairs of columns in each 

 radial area; the cirri are long and stout with numerous (about 50) segments, of which 

 the longest proximal are about 4 times as long as broad and the last 20 are broader 

 than long; the elements of the IBr series and the lower brachials are in close lateral 

 contact and laterally flattened, and have conspicuously spiny borders; and all of the 

 pinnules are present. 



Type species.- -Antedon columnaris P. H. Carpenter, 1881. 



Geographical range.- From St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles, northward to the coast of 

 Georgia and the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. 



Bathymetrical range. From 308 to 804 meters. 



Thermal range. From 5.83 C. to 12.11 C.
