Original Description
Gate obliquely ovate. Ring semi-ovate, with straight dorsal and. curved ventral rod, partly with distorted edges. Six bunches of numerous short and straight conical spines arise from the ring, one larger bunch (often trifid) from the apex, two smaller bunches from the dorsal, two from the ventral rod, and one very large bunch from the base. The six bunches are often more separated, smaller, and the spines shorter than in the figured specimen, which passes over into Dendrocircus.
Size: Diameter of the gate 0.12 to 0.16; length of the spines, 0.01 to 0.07.
