Medium-sized (30-40 mm long) slug, body, head and tentacles pale buff, well-marked with scattered dark brown spots on back and flanks, coalescing to form diffuse bands on mantle. Sole coloured as body, tripartite. Moderate dorsal keel along whole length of tail, terminating in a very short, blunt caudal appendage. Supraperipodial groove not evident. Tail and flanks with moderately large, but smooth and very flat tubercules. Mantle moderately sized (approx. 40 % of body length) with finely granular surface and large shell pore, attached at rear.</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="5" pageNumber="16">Jaw and radula (Figs 24, 36-38). Jaw with strong median projection. Radula with central tooth and up to 80 lateral and marginal teeth in a half-row, in over 100 rows. Lateral teeth tricuspid, outermost laterals becoming bicuspid, but with mesocones pointed and largest. Serrated outer edges to some outermost marginals.</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="5" pageNumber="16">Genitalia (Figs 59-62, 64-65). Visceral cavity almost reaches tail (only the posterior 10% of body solid). No stimulator. Penial complex consisting of: strongly twisted free penis; epiphallus 1 long, epiphallus 2 very short; long epiphallic caecum; and pyriform calc sac. Penial retractor muscle arising from diaphragm. Internally, penis smooth. No penis verge. Moderately thick penial sheath present. Atrium long, with weak internal folds. Vagina with a strong muscular swelling at one side, internally with strong irregular folds and a sphincter near the swelling. Bursa copulatrix duct robust, long, not pigmented or ornamented, internally with weak longitudinal pilasters; bursa voluminous, thin-walled, pointed apically. Oviductal gland quite large, oviduct short and broad. Ovotestis sited posterior to albumen gland.</paragraph>
