Original Description
Gate ovate or nearly elliptical. Ring ovate, with three prominent edges, and numerous richly branched spines arising from the three edges. The specimen figured, which I observed living in the Mediterranean, exhibited eight bunches of larger spines, three dorsal, three ventral, one apical, and one basal bunch; the latter much larger than the seven others. Each bunch was composed of two to four larger and numerous smaller spines, their branches curved and forked. The ovate purple central capsule, with a distinct podoconus, filled more than the half of the gate.
Diameter of the gate 0.1 to 0.13; length of the spines 0.05 to 0.15.
