Disc is 8.3 mm dd, arms are coiled distally but are at least 25 mm long. Both sides of the disc and the arms are covered in skin that obscures underlying plates. Disc is five lobed, constricted interradially, covered in skin with embedded low conical granules (Fig. 7D). The granules are largest on and between the radial shields and in the centre of the disc (0.27–0.3 mm dia), on the dorsal and ventral interradii they are smaller (0.18– 0.25 mm), sparser and separated by skin and small scales. The wide genital slits are contiguous with the first 2 arm segments (Fig. 7E). Oral shields are rhomboid, 1.5 times wider than long; adorals are almost of the same size, trapezoid, widest proximally, ... : Published as part of O'Hara, Timothy D. & Thuy, Ben, 2022, Biogeography and taxonomy of Ophiuroidea (Echinodermata) from the Îles Saint- Paul and Amsterdam in the southern Indian Ocean, pp. 1-49 in Zootaxa 5124 (1) on pages 21-24, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5124.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/6404674 ...
