Brachitaxes and proximal brachials rugged or rugose due to well developed synarthrial tubercles. Cirri 20-40, of 22-35 (usually 25-30) segments, 15-30 mm long; longest proximal cirrals as long as broad or slightly longer; distal cirrals as broad as long or broader, with short but distinct aboral spine. Arms 14-40 (usually ~30), 65-150 mm long. [details] Distribution: Ranges eastward to Singapore, New Guinea, Amboina (Clark, 1911); East Indies, China, south of Japan and South Pacific Islands (Clark & Rowe (1971)); Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995). General distribution: tropical, west Pacific Ocean, depth range 0-45 m. (Rowe & Gates, 1995); littoral in Clark (1911). Ecology: benthic, inshore, suspension feeder (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details] Type locality: Type locality: unknown. Holotype in Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, Leiden (Netherlands) (formerly Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie) (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
