Description Complete original description as follows: "Five arms; R=29 mm; r=14 mm; R:r=2.1:1; superomarginals 17. This form agrees most minutely with O. elongatus (Sladen) from Kerguelen, Marion and Heard Islands excepting in having much shorter arms and no pseudopedicellariae. It will probably prove to be a Magellanic variety of that speices." [details]
