Cirri rarely >40, of up to 18 (usually 14 to 16) cirrals; distal cirrals moderately compressed, shorter and 1.5x wider than proximal cirrals, and slightly longer than broad;oximal ones. Interradial perisomic plates often present. First primibrachial very short, especially in larger specimens, with slightly converging lateral edges forming distinct angle with projecting lateral corners of axils.  [details]
