The description by Troost is as follows: 



The pelvis is not visible. The costals [basals] are lanceolate, supporting in the 

 re-entering angles five pentagonal scapulars [radials], upon which rest a cuneiform arm 

 each supporting two hands. 



Occurs near Sparta, White County, Tennessee, accompanied with Pentremites in 

 oolitic limestone — I found it also near Huntsville, Alabama. — Both Carboniferous. 



Observations. — The original description of this species is meager, 

 but being accompanied by a good figure, it is possible to identify 

 other specimens with the type. Hall published in 1858 (p. 682) an 

 accurate and detailed description of the species. His figure repre- 

 sents a specimen with only one arm in the left postero-lateral ray, 

 but, as he suggests, this is probably an abnormal individual. The 

 specimen in the Troost collection has the normal two arms in this ray. 



Formation and locality. — Kaskaskia limestone. Near Sparta, White 

 County, Tennessee; Huntsville, Alabama; Chester, Illinois; Grayson 

 County, Kentucky.
