Column low, firm, slightly rugose, with rows of mesogleal tubercles. Margin distinct. Sphincter mesogleal, strong. Tentacles without aboral thickenings or batteries of nematocysts; mesogleal longitudinal musculature in tentacles. Considerably more mesenteries proximally than distally; one cycle of perfect mesenteries. Younger cycles of mesenteries with unequal development between members of the pairs. Retractors well developed, diffuse; strong parietobasilar and basilar musculature. Cnidom: gracile spirocysts, basitrichs, b -mastigophores and p -mastigophores A. Type species: Chitinactis marmara by original designation. Etymology: From chitine the Latinized form of the Greek χιτών, a tunic, referring to the thick cuticle covering species of this genus, and the Latinized Greek suffix - actis , from ακτίνα, a ray. The gender is feminine. : Published as part of Gusmão, Luciana C. & Rodríguez, Estefanía, 2021, Two sea anemones (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from the Southern Ocean with evidence of a deep-sea, polar lineage of burrowing sea anemones, pp. 1392-1415 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 193 on pages 1397-1398, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa176, http://zenodo.org/record/5752621
