Five-rayed echinasterid sea stars; disc broad, rays inflated, moderately long and broad; skeleton thin, relatively soft; abactinal plates small, narrow, usually well spaced, in a lattice-like arrangement, and bearing spinose pseudopaxillar ridges; skeletal plates not arranged in discernable, linear series; marginal plates lacking or indistinguishable from abactinal and actinolateral plates; adambulacral plates with one spine deep in the ambulacral furrow, and many on the plate surface.
