Prototrochus Belyaev and Mironov, 1982 View in CoL
Diagnosis (after Gage and Billett 1986). Myriotrochid with 10 tentacles; calcareous ring symmetrical, with dorsal and ventral plates subequal in size; dorsolateral radial plates with single anterior projection; wheels with teeth distributed regularly, pointing towards centre of hub; rods absent from body wall, sometime occurring in and around tentacles.
Remarks. Belyaev and Mironov (1982) noted in erecting their new genus Prototrochus that the wheels of their included species Prototrochus bipartitodentatus ( Belyaev and Mironov, 1978) were exceptional within their diagnosis as there are small external teeth at the base of the internal teeth.
