Description. Soft cylindrical body, light brown to dark brown in color, sometimes exceeding 20 cm in length and 3–5 cm in width. Trivium ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ab) clearly separated from bivium ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Aa) by a groove. Pedicels whitish (giving the body a white-spotted appearance), spots numerous, dense ventrally, often also dorsally but not obvious. Dorsal papillae thin, whitish, reduced, situated on reduced conical warts/tubercles. Mouth ventral; anus terminal. Tentacles 20, yellowish. Cuvierian tubules absent. Collar around mouth thin (about 0.50 mm). Calcareous ring with broad radial plates with deep, slit-like anterior notch with slightly bifurcate anterior portions and a convex posterior margin ( Table 4 View TABLE 4 ).

Ossicles. Ossicles of body wall tables and buttons. Tables ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ac) with an irregular, marginally serrated disc pierced by 4 central holes and a variable number of peripheral holes. Buttons ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ad) of 3 types: (i) smooth with regular outline; (ii) smooth with irregular outline and (iii) with large perforations. Perforated plates of the pedicels of two types: (i) enlarged ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Af) and (ii) elongated ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ae). Terminal plates on the pedicels ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ai). Tentacle rods straight ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ag) or arched ( Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 Ah).
