Remarks: Trunk cylindrical or flasklike, 0.7–14.2 mm long, 0.5–1.7 mm wide. Introvert partly everted 12–14 mm long, 0.2–0.8 mm wide. When fully extended, introvert 7 times trunk length. Skin thin, transparent or thick, opaque, furrowed. Introvert with 22–40 rings of hooks; 28–35 µm high, 15–18 µm thick at base. An accessory comb with 4–6 spinelets at base of hooks. Ventral retractors thicker than dorsal ones. Intestine and rectum long. Nephridia mostly orange in colour; one or biloped; second lobe smaller than primer one. Nephridiopores located in front of anus. Intestine spiral with 10–24 coils. Papillae on trunk globular, rosette sometimes domelike shaped. Large adult specimens bearing mammiform papillae. Papillae on posterior part of trunk 5–28 µm long, 5–48 µm in diameter. Some specimens with eggs, elliptical; longer axis 50–80 µm in diameter, smaller axis 35–55 µm in diameter.
Distribution: Western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, two sides of Indian Ocean (Cutler 1994). Depth range: 300–1860 m (Cutler 1969; Cutler & Cutler 1987).
