). The pointed tail extends beyond the mantle, and is translucent white with an opaque white triangular marking centrally. The mantle is translucent rose with longitudinal interrupted opaque white lines and round pink spots that are ocellated with deeper rose. Around this area is a band of white patches that may be confluent, followed by a translucent orange band containing discrete white patches. The rhinophores are translucent orange with two inner opaque white areas; there are up to 12 lamellae and the translucent stalks issue from translucent, slightly raised sheaths. The 6-8 unipinnate gills are arranged in a simple circle; they are also translucent with opaque white cores; the orange pigment in the tips is within the translucent area.

The preserved specimens are not totally contracted, and still retain the opaque white lines on the dorsum; however, no coloured spots remain on any of the specimens. The almost black digestive gland within is clearly visible. The edges of the foot are slightly crumpled, squared anteriorly, and the oral tentacles are visible as swollen nipples (Figure

In this region, the twist of the cusp is still pronounced and forms a small knob at the top of the root/cusp junction.
