Diagnosis
Hormathiidae with broad pedal disc which may be widely expanded. Column divisible into scapus and scapulus, the former smooth or slightly corrugated, without cuticle but sometimes incrusted with sand and with a thin coating of hardened mucus in which sand may be embedded, or a thick wrinkled coating. Scapulus narrow and smooth. Sphincter mesogleoal and relatively small. Tentacles in more than two cycles. Two siphonoglyphs and two pairs of directives. Six pairs, maybe up to 12 pairs, of perfect mesenteries. The six first pairs sterile, with strongly restricted to circumscribed retractors and weak parietobasial muscles. Retractors of the second cycle diffuse. Youngest mesenteries growing from the proximal end upwards.
