Material examined. NMV F308318 About NMV (2) [IN 2022 V 08 187] .

One additional Benthogone lot recovered from 2418– 2156 m, with one whole damaged specimen and second completely stripped specimen with only central cylindrical gut remaining. Whole specimen dorsoventrally flattened with clear circumoral papillae, translucent light pink to white skin, and rows of small, retracted papillae on each dorsal radii. Unable to identify past genus level at this stage due to absence of tube feet and enough diagnostic ossicles.
