: fig. 38A-E), specimens from Koh Tao appear have a background colour ranging from almost colourless to pale blue-violet, with rhinophore apices and subterminal bands on oral tentacles and cerata being a much deeper purple than the reddish violet of
. Most distinctive, however, is the presence of a mid-dorsal deep purple line which remains continuous in some specimens, entirely broken or limited to the oral surface in others, and completely absent in yet other specimens. The same pattern seen (if present) in the dorsal line is often mimicked laterally on both sides of some specimens. While no mention of dorsal or lateral linear pigmentation was made in the description of the species, these lines are visible in images provided supplementing the description (
