Cladolabes

Brandt, 1935

10 species

Large to medium large dendrochirotid holothurians with 20 tentacles in two 15+5 or three 10+5+5 circles. The calcareous ring is large and partly cartilaginous. The simple parts are compact, but form many variable shapes, mostly fully tall and proportionally slender. The radialia, along with the interradialia, show posteriorly rounded inclusions through which the forked tails are suggestingly? formed. Polian vesicles and stone canals are numerous. The calcareous bodies of the body wall are wither towers withg rudimentary basal plates and high attachments that are composed of two columns, or rods and clubs that are derived from such towers. (Heding & Panning, 1954)

Medium sized to large species with 20 tentacles in two 15+5 or three 10+5+5 circles. Calcareous ring compact but partially soft (?cartilaginous), radial and interradial plates of ring high, posterior paired radial processes distinct or rudimentary. Spicules either tables with rudimentary discs and tall two-pillared spires or rods and clubs derived from tables. (Thandar, 1989)
