Diagnosis. Cerianthids with alternating sterile and fertile mesenteries. Second protomesenteries fertile, reaching aboral pole. Metamesenteries arranged in mBMb. Length of all but M-metamesenteries diminishes toward multiplication chamber. Length of M-metamesenteries of first 2–4 quartets can increase toward the multiplication chamber. M3 and further mesenteries can diminish in length towards multiplication chamber (Carlgren, 1912).

Distribution. Previously restricted to the Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, US Coast and South Africa Coast), expanded in this study to the South Pacific with the description of a new species.
