Original description Posterior portion missing. It is smaller than any of the known species being 43 mm. long, 50 mm. wide and 33 mm. high and generally somewhat higher proportionately.
The tubercles upon the interambulacral plates are uniform ventrally and laterally, but dorsally they are smaller. The anterior ambulacrum is also narrower and deeper than in most
species of this genus. [details]
