Branches of tentacles pigmented with pinnules with violet grains. Smooth collar behind tentacles, with violet pigmentation. Zone of irregularly distributed large scalids behind cephalon. Longitudinal musculature of body wall not divided into longitudinal bands. Two retractors of introvert, both ventral, fastened to body wall in posterior third of body. Contractile vessel with long, filiform, spirally twisted branches braiding internal organs. Intestine long, number of intestinal loops 16-20. Three fixing muscles, located individually for every animal. Anal opening level with nephridiopores. Wing muscles well-developed. No rectal diverticulus found.
