On the aboral sides of the lobes are bunches of grape-like nematospheres. Exocoelic tentacles orally-aborally flattened, branched at the margin. Longitudinal muscles of tentacles and radial muscles of oral disc ectodermal. 2 well developed siphonoglyphs and two pairs of directives. Numerous pairs of mesenteries, at least 3 cycles perfect.
