Rhinophoral sheaths elongate, with 12 branched papillae around distal edges. Foot smooth, rounded posteriorly, visible dorsally at posterior end and in notum invaginations. Genital and anal openings on right side of body. Background color of notum black. Dorsal tubercles primarily white to greyish-brown near posterior notum, giving the body a light appearance, becoming darker towards head, turning completely black on anterior notum; this gives a black and white appearance with a greyish transitional area mid-length, forming a wedge of black pigment. Notum edge primarily white, except for anterior-most end that becomes dark grey. Velum completely black. Rhinophoral sheaths black with grey edges. Rhinophores with black stalks and beige sheath papillae and clubs. Foot dark grey, surrounded by a thin white line.
