Description: The mantle is almost circular in 

 cross section and is very muscular; the tail is thin 

 and translucent. The mantle is widest at the 

 opening (MWI 27 A-32.3-W .1) and the sides con- 

 verge gradually toward the saccate tail. The 

 anterior ventral margin is very slightly exca- 

 vated and the lateral angles are pointed, but low. 

 The dorsal evagination of the mantle is a rounded 

 and low lobe. 



The fins are about three-fifths of the mantle 

 length (FLI 62.4-^.7-67.7) and are moderately 

 wide (FWI 59.8-^.^-82.6). They arise at about 

 the anterior third of the mantle length. The 

 anterior margin projects as a rounded lobe near 

 its attachment and then extends laterally, and 

 together with the almost straight posterior 

 margin, a rounded angle (about 72°) is formed. 

 The posterior margins are each joined to the 

 mantle separately leaving a small gap between 

 them. 



The funnel is triangular and almost as wide as
