The Nectosome and nectophores are not present. At the top, there are reddish-brown granules or specks arranged in spreading clusters. There is no opening at the apex, but there is a large, round basal pore, measuring about 0.65 mm or more in diameter. The gastrozooids are attached to stalks, featuring a well-developed basigaster and eight hepatic ridges radiating in the stomach region. The gonodendra, numbering 8-9 and having thick stalks, are positioned between the two gastrozooids. They split into two branches, each carrying male or two female gonostyles in an alternating pattern. The tentacle at the base has two different types of tentilla. The terminal part of the tentacle is thick and lacks tentilla. There are numerous vermiform, transparent palpons forming a circle above the gastrozooids.
