In spite of the noticeable difference in body size, specimens from Kagoshima and Okinawa - all having reached sexual maturity - were identified as conspecific. They shared the following morphological characteristics: i) body dorsally fringed with a thin orange line, ii) marginal-eyespot band extending to the position of the mouth (about anterior one-eighth of the body), iii) two prostatic vesicles covered by a common muscle sheath, and iv) common muscle sheath penetrated by ejaculatory duct.
