Clark, 1946

Tentacles usually 20 or more often of diverse sizes. Pedicels more or less confined to ambulacra. Calcareous particles more or less abundant, including tables of some sort, though these may have either the disc or the spire or both more or less asymmetrical or irregular. (Clark, 1946?)

Dendrochirotid holothurians with 30 tentacles. Podia in rows on the radii. Calcareous ring is simple and without forked tails. The interradialia are well developed. The calcareous bodies of the epidermis are towers composed of two columns. The columns are without a crown and have two hooked ends. (Heding & Panning, 1954)
