3.2.2. Brief description

Echinoderes with middorsal spines present on segments 4, 6 and 8, and spines in lateroventral positions on segments 6 to 9. Tubes in midlateral and ventrolateral positions on segment 2, lateroventral ones on segment 5, lateral accessory on segment 8, and laterodorsal on segments 9 and 10. Midlateral tubes on segment 7 to be confirmed.

Adults with head, neck and eleven segments. Overview of measures and dimensions are given in Table 4.

Segments 1 and 2 as complete cuticular rings ( Fig. 7 A–C View Fig ). Segment 1 with a single middorsal glandular cell outlet type 1 and a pair in lateroventral positions, sensory spots in subdorsal and laterodorsal positions ( Fig. 7 A–C View Fig ). Sensory spots on this and following segments are very small, visible as a single dot or two dots in LM observations. Segment 2 with midlateral and ventrolateral tubes ( Fig. 7 B–D View Fig ), a single middorsal and a pair of ventromedial glandular cell outlets type 1, plus ventromedial sensory spots ( Fig. 7 C View Fig ). Segment 3 with subdorsal sensory spots ( Fig. 7 A View Fig ), a single middorsal glandular cell outlet type 1 and a pair in ventromedial positions. Segment 4 with acicular middorsal spine ( Fig. 7 A–E View Fig ), paradorsal and ventromedial glandular cell outlets types 1, present on this and following six segments. Segment 5 with lateroventral tubes ( Fig. 7 F View Fig ). Segment 6 with acicular middorsal and lateroventral spines, plus sensory spots in paradorsal and ventromedial positions ( Fig. 7 E–F View Fig ). Segment 7 with lateroventral spines ( Fig. 7 F–H View Fig ), and likely midlateral tubes in one specimen ( Fig. 7 H View Fig ). Segment 8 with acicular middorsal and lateroventral spines, lateral accessory tubes ( Fig. 7 E–H View Fig ), and paradorsal sensory spots. Segment 9 with lateroventral spines, laterodorsal tubes, and sensory spots in subdorsal, laterodorsal and ventrolateral positions ( Fig. 7 E–G, I View Fig ). Rounded, small sieve plates in lateral accessory positions. Segment 10 with laterodorsal tubes, two middorsal glandular cell outlet type 1 and a pair in ventromedial positions, plus sensory spots in subdorsal and ventrolateral positions ( Fig. 7 G–I View Fig ). Posterior edge of segments 1 to 10 with primary pectinate fringe. Segment 11 with long lateral terminal spines, three pairs of penile spines, sensory spots in subdorsal positions and two glandular cell outlets type 1 located middorsal. Tergal extensions short and pointed ( Fig. 7 J View Fig ). The posterior margins of the sternal plates rounded, shorter than tergal extensions.
