Diagnosis. Body about 5 cm in length, with anterior and posterior ends upturned. Color white to pinkish to dirty brown. Feet confined to radii. Tentacles 10, bushy, with the 2 ventral smaller. Skin thin, wrinkled and stiff because of the abundance of ossicles. Ossicles regular, oval tables (to 70 μm long) with 4 holes and a low spire, composed of 2 rods ending in 2–3 blunt teeth. A few thin, elongate plates with 2 central holes, and a variable number of smaller holes near the ends, may be found. A great number of irregular plates crowded around anus.
