Brachitaxes well-separated; brachitaxis ossicles bearing rounded adambulacral processes oriented parallel or oblique to longitudinal axis of ossicle and producing characteristically scalloped or knobbed lateral margins. Cirrals <40; distal cirrals with aboral ornamentation ranging from prominent spine to slight carination. One or more pairs of oral pinnules with reduced ambulacral groove, flattened articular facets, reduced tissue between pinnulars, conical tip and with LW of middle pinnulars 1.5–4.0; P2 with 8-18 pinnulars.
