Type and type locality. USNM 100114 About USNM (holotype): 54º28’58.8”S, 39º21’57.6”W, South Atlantic , South Georgia Island, 659–686 m GoogleMaps ; USNM 100131 (paratype): 53º19’58.8”S, 42º42’0”W, South Atlantic , South Georgia Island, 417–514 m. GoogleMaps

Diagnosis. Corallum sparsely branched; densely pinnulate; stem, branches, and primary pinnules generally in one plane; secondary pinnules on each primary pinnule extending out laterally on one side of the plane containing the primary pinnules and stem. Primary pinnules arranged alternately along the stem and branches in two anterolateral rows. Secondary pinnules arranged mostly uniserially on front side of primary pinnules; biserial arrangement occurring distally on the largest primaries. Tertiary and quaternary pinnules, when present, arranged uniserially on front side of the lower order pinnules. Spines simple (rarely forked), conical, acute, slightly compressed; larger on one side of the axis (usually but not always corresponding to the polyp side). Polypar spines up to 0.15 mm tall; abpolypar spines 0.08 mm or less (sometimes absent). Polyps 3–5 mm in transverse diameter; arranged in one series with two to three polyps per centimeter. ( Opresko, 2002).

Distribution. South Georgia Island, South Atlantic (fig. 35) ( Opresko, 2002); New Zealand ( Opresko, 2014); from 417 m to 686 m ( Opresko, 2002).
