SUMMARY
This species is well founded and geographically widely distributed, mostly in warm shallow water. The trunk is covered uniformly by small yellowish wart-like papillae. Non-descriptive small hooks scattered at the anterior region of the trunk. The transition from introvert to trunk is not sharply marked and the introvert tapers gradually towards its tip. On the anterior tip 20-30 well-developed tentacles surround the mouth.
