description Himerometra with very stout enlarged proximal pinnules tapering rapidly to the tip; of up to ~20 segments, with distal ends projecting abruptly beyond but not overlapping base of following segment and bearing numerous fine spines (restricted in large specimens to outer segments). Distal ends of proximal brachials strongly produced and everted so that arm bases appeare rough. Arms 28-43 (usually 30-34), up to 124 mm long. [details]
