). Branchial and rhinophoral sheaths somewhat elevated, simple, irregular. Gill composed of five short, tripinnate branchial leaves, arranged upright. Rhinophores short, lamellated, with 12-14 lamellae. Visceral hump elevated over the rest of the mantle. Dorsum completely covered with small caryophyllidia and a complex network of ridges and scattered large, rounded tubercles. Body color variable, yellow to pale brown with scattered opaque white pigment and some specimens with rounded black spots. Branchial leaves are the same color as the dorsum; rhinophores brown proximally, with white apices.

) with a long, wide, convoluted ampulla with several folds, which connects with the female gland complex and the oval, flattened prostate. The prostate narrows substantially into a long, convoluted duct, before expanding into the short, wide deferent duct. The penis is unarmed. The vagina is elongate, much narrower than the deferent duct, connecting directly to the large, oval bursa copulatrix. The elongate seminal receptacle also connects to the bursa copulatrix next to the vaginal connection, and the short uterine duct that enters the female gland complex. The seminal receptable possesses a spherical tip and it is similar in volume to the bursa copulatrix. An accessory gland connects to the genial atrium where the deferent duct and the vagina meet. The accessory gland is granular in texture and approximately as large as the bursa copulatrix.
