Column divisible into a long scapus and a short scapulus, the former with a cuticle. Tentacles 50, hexamerously arranged, tips longitudinally sulcated, probably knobbed. Sphincter similar to Telmatactis stephonsoni, but not so long and in the lower part not so sharply separated from the endodermal muscles of the column. 24 pairs of mesenteries, first cycle perfect with strong, very restricted kidney-like retractors. Mesenteries of second cycle have filaments and longitudinal muscles on both sides of the mesenteries.
