The species is described from a living specimen measuring 25 mm. in length (in the stomach axis) from the apical sense organ to the tip of the oral lobes. The two large oral lobes are about three-fifths the total length of the expanded page 5 animal, and there arc four short auricles with cilary combs on the margin. The sense organ is sunken in a small pit. The subventral meridional canals traverse the oral lobes of their respective sides as two parallel canals till nearly the abapical margin where they diverge, wind slighty in the oral lobe and then join a branch of the paragastric canal on the margin of the lobe. From this junction with the paragastric canals on the margin of the lobe, the meridional subventral canals continued to border the margin of their respective sides of the lobe until they meet and join with the meridional subtentacular canal of that side. The paragastric canals are unique. They give rise to two branches which traverse the inner surface of each oral lobe travelling along the margin of the lobe till they join the meridional subventral canal as described above. All the canals, but especialy the paragastric canals and the tentacular canals contain many tiny globules, more so than in other ctenophores. Many of these globules are coloured light red. The stomodeum is short, compressed in the stomodeal axis, and coloured with a deep red-brown pigment. Except for this deep red-brown pigment of the stomodeum and the light red globules in the canals the specimens are transparent and colourless. The funnel tube is long, and from its oral end two thick branches pass to the tentacle bases. The tentacle bases are enclosed in remnants of a tentacle sheath, and are unusual in that they are double in all specimens examined, i.e., there is a pair of tentacle bases on each side of the animal. Arising from this double tentacle base is a single tentacle which follows the contour of the margin of the mouth to the inner side of the two parallel branches of the paragastric canal and then follows these canals closely until just past their junction with the meridional subventral canals. Throughout their course they give rise to numerous contractile filaments.
