. The body color is medium to dark grey with scattered dark flecking predominantly along the edge of the mantle. The underside of the mantle is tan with a few scattered dark flecks concentrated near the oral tentacles. Light grey tubercles are arranged in irregular groups across the mantle and may also have opaque white spotting along the tips. The gill surrounds the anus and has eight dark grey bipinnate branchial leaves with opaque white spotting along the rachises. The gill pocket contains eight distinct lobes with gentle crenulations that are similar in color to the rest of the body. The rhinophores are perfoliate with 610 grey lamellae. The foot is broad, anteriorly notched, and tan in color with scattered dark flecking along the dorsal side. An elongate, digitiform oral tentacle is found laterally on either side of the labial region and mouth.
