Original description Differs from A. Lorioli Koehler by its low test, which recalls that of Abatus cavernosus. The periproct is above the ambitus at the truncated, a little reenteringly curved posterior end. The spines are coarse like those of Abatus cavernosus. The valves of the globiferous pedicellariae end in two long teeth. In the female the petals are transformed into marsupia, as in Abatus. Young ones were found 'in the marsupia; they did not show any trace of a peripetalous fasciole. [details]
