Diagnostic Jeatures. — The size is medium to rather large; the cirri have 18-26 

 (usually 20-25) segments and are from 15 to 25 mm. (usually from 15 to 20 mm.) in 

 length; there are 27-50 (usually 30-40) arms, which are from 90 to 120 mm. long; 

 IIIBr series are usually present on the outer derivatives from each IIBr axillary, the 

 inner derivatives remaining undivided. 



Description. — The centrodorsal is a broad, flat, moderately thick disk, with the 

 broad polar area flat and about 5 mm. in diameter. The cirrus sockets are arranged 

 in 3 closely crowded alternating rows.
