Diagnosis. Body cylindrical, up to 120 mm long, covered with numerous hair-like feet arranged in indistinct double rows along radii, scattered in interradii. Color grayish-brown. Tentacles 10, ventral pair smaller. Ossicles tables (65–135 μm) with more than 4 perforations; spire of supporting tables gently tapering.

Distribution. NC to FL, Gulf of Mexico.

Habitat. Soft sediment such as crushed shell, quartz sand, and calcareous silt. 6– 366 m.

Remarks. Pawson and Miller (1981: 395) tentatively accepted Madsen’s (1941) opinion that the western Atlantic specimens formerly referred to the European species Thyone inermis Heller, 1868 should be referred to another species, for which the name T. deichmannae Madsen was available, but it was not until the publication of Hendler et al. (1995) that this step was formally taken.
