Characteristics
Stoichactiidae with well developed pedal disc. Upper part of the column usually with prominent verrucae, rarely smooth. Sphincter weak, restricted to circumscribed, rarely diffuse. Tentacles rather short or of ordinary length, never papilliform, distributed over the greater part of the oral disc. More than one tentacle communicates with every endocoel or with the older endocoels, but there is only one row on each, and each row consists of more or less numerous tentacles. Rarely the radial arrangement is indistinct. Only one tentacle per exocoel. Longitudinal muscles of tentacles and radial muscles of oral disc ectodermal. Oral disc sometimes lobed or broader than the base. Siphonoglyphs and directives variable in number. Mesenteries numerous. All mesenteries, with or without the directives, fertile. Probably more mesenteries distally than proximally (always?). Retractors diffuse, parietobasilar muscles strong. Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs, microbasic p-mastigophors.References
