Diagnosis [by A.M.C.]. — A genus of Zenoinetrinae in wliich the ccntrodorsal is 

 conical, almost equal in height to the basal diameter, with two regular columns of 

 cirrus sockets in each radial area separated by naked, shallow interradial grooves; the 

 longest cirri have over 50 segments, of which less than half are longer than broad and 

 the distal ones are very short, each with a prominent dorsal crest; the division series 

 and lower brachials are smooth and cyhndrical, those of neighboring series not in 

 lateral contact; the single specimen known is multibrachiate witli 14 arms and hence 

 four IIBr series, of which three are of 4 ossicles and the other of 2; Pj, where present 

 is long with the outer half very attenuated; the following three pinnules. Pi, Pj and 

 Ps, are progressively shorter. 



Type species. — Antedon angustiradia P. H. Carpenter, 1888. 



Geographical distribution. — Known only from off the Kei Islands. 



Bathymetrical distribution. — Known onlj' from 256 meters. 



Remarks. — -The genus Adelometra was established in 1907 for Antedon angustiradia, 

 which had been d(>scribed and figured by Dr. P. H. Carpenter in 1888 and referred by 

 him to his "Sarignyii Group" (now the family Himerometridae) because of the presence 

 of 14 arms in the unique tj'pe, three of the extra division series being 4(3 + 4) and one 2. 

 This specimen with its conical ccntrodorsal and cirrus sockets in vertical columns 

 clearly belongs rather to the subfamily Zenometrinae of the family Antedonidae. 



[Note by A.M.C] In 1908 Mr. Clark described a new species from off Havana, 

 Cuba, which he called Adelometra tenuipes, but in 1936 he established a new 

 genus, Caryometra, to accommodate this species.
