C; 7EF): body elliptical, slightly depressed, up to 25.0 mm long alive, with 1.5 to 1.7 times greater length than width. Mantle coriaceous, densely covered by somewhat rounded tubercles irregularly disposed; tubercles of different sizes (diameter: 113 µm to 435 µm); tubercles lower in mantle edge and in center of mantle than those in sides of mantle. Rhinophoral sheaths prominent, densely covered by tubercles, and sometimes with some granules. Rhinophores with cylindrical apex, 12 to 15 diagonal perfoliations. Branchial sheath prominent and smooth, without tubercles. Gill with six-eight retractile, tripinnate branchial leaves, symmetrically positioned along longitudinal axis of body; anal cone high, located between two most posterior branchial leaves. Foot narrower than mantle; anteriorly bilabiated and notched on two “lips”; posteriorly, can project in a rounded tail. Oral tentacles conical and short. Color of living specimens ranges from beige to brown, sometimes vivid orange, with several dark brown blotches on dorsum of irregular sizes and arrangement, and sometime with beige granules star-like; ventrally, orange; rhinophores with same tone as mantle, with some whitish spots on perfoliations and, apical part white; anteriorly branchial leaves and branchial sheath beige and, posteriorly branchial leaves translucent orange.

A): hermaphrodite duct connected to long and slightly convoluted ampulla. Postampullary gonoduct very short, that connects to oviduct and prostate. Prostate granular, divided into two parts, approximately of same size, less dense part proximal, denser distal part. Vas deferent elongated and convolute, slightly enlarged near genital atrium. Vagina elongated, thinner than deferent duct, opening into rounded bursa copulatrix. Bursa serially arranged, vaginal duct folding once and connecting to short-stalked seminal receptacle; bursa copulatrix with three times more volume than seminal receptacle; uterine duct short. In genital atrium, near vagina opening, there is a rounded vestibular gland.

Marcus (1955) as the general coloration, that is light orange with brown blotches, irregularly distributed on the notum, and there are light granules. The color of the gill in all specimens always followed the same pattern: the anterior branchial leaves are beige and the posterior leaves are translucent orange. Despite being evident in most specimens, this feature has not been previously mentioned. However, an illustration of a specimen from Florida by Er. Marcus and Ev. Marcus (1967a, p. 83, Fig. 105) indicates the presence of dark posterior branchial leaves.</paragraph>

(2006) mentioned that this species has a branchial sheath with a characteristic wavy edge, but they do not provide an explanation for this feature. In the original description by Bergh (1894), the branchial sheath was not described. If the branchial sheath is smooth, this characteristic would match our description of
