Diagnosis

The narrow, aboral edge of the animal is arched and the 4 subtentacular meridional canals extend upward from their points of origin and are provided each with a very short tract of cilia. They then bend downwards and finally outwards along the middle of the sides to the ends of the body, where they join the 4 meridional subventral canals.
