Diagnosis. Disc plates covered in small rounded granules, occasionally elongated near arm base, absent from proximal ventral disc area. Seven thin, flattened arm spines, middle 3–4 longest (as long as 4 arm segments) sometimes with thickened club on end of spine, spines decreasing in length ventrally. Adoral shields meet proximally to oral shield. Two leaf-like tentacle scales throughout arm. Disc, arms and arm spines dark red when live, pale grey or brown when preserved.

Description. See Mortensen (1924).
