Like the holotype, all cups inverted conical, basals indistinct (Fig. 5D) sometimes underlined by discreet sutures (Fig. 5A), basals slightly higher than radials, coarse interradial adoral ribs separating oval muscular synarthries (Fig. 5E). Central depression of adoral face without basal plug, hemispherical in holotype (Fig. 5C) to more flared like in paratype 1 (Fig. 5B); ratio central depression to radial ring diameter 0.47 in holotype and 0.55 in paratype 1.</p><p>Remarks: According to Roux <i>et al.</i> (2019), the presence of coarse interradial ribs developed up to the outer edge of adoral face excludes that these small cups are juveniles of <i>Cherbonniericrinus pliocenicus</i> <b>n. sp.</b> described above. <i>Paraconocrinus</i> was identified from the Eocene and the Early Miocene of southern France and northeastern Italy (Merle & Roux 2018; Roux <i>et al.</i> 2019; Roux & Philippe 2021).
