Bell's description is obviously quite inadequate but his figures 

 show the specific characters very well. The elongated oval, widely 

 separated upper arm-plates is the best specific character, taken in 

 connection with the large radial shields and long, slender arm- 

 spines. The series in the present collection is a very fine one, 

 consisting of 265 specimens, ranging from 2-75 mm. to 10 mm. in 

 disk diameter, and taken at eleven different places. They have 

 been compared with two of Bell's cotypes so there is no doubt of 

 the identification.
