Radial tubes cylindrical-prismatic, mostly hexagonal, coalesce 

 with their edges throughout the whole length to the low distal 

 conus. Between those triangular prismatic inter-canals. Dermal 

 surface corymbate-shaggy. Gastral surface with slender and 

 small spines. Acerate spicules only at the distal conus of each 

 tube forming a thinner or thicker bundle, cylindrical, straight or 

 curved, at both ends tapering continuously to a fine point much 

 longer, and 2 to i times as thick as the triradiate and quadri- 

 radiate spicules. Tubar triradiate spicules sagittal, with unequal
