Diagnostic features. — All the cirrus segments are much broader than long; the 

 cirrus sockets are arranged in 10 columns on the centrodorsal; the 10 arms are up to 

 1(55 nun. in length; the ossicles of the division series and proximal brachials have the 

 lateral and the outer part of the proximal and distal edges everted and more or less 

 crennhite or scalloped; and the cirri are 20-25 mm. long with 17-20 segments. 



Description. The centrodorsal is very thick-discoidal, the sides sloping slightly 

 inward, 6.5 mm. in diameter at the base and 3.0 mm. high. The cirrus sockets are 

 arranged in 10 columns of 2 each, the columns closely crowded against each other and 

 showing no separation into pairs.
