). Branchial and rhinophoral sheaths somewhat elevated, simple, circular. Gill composed of eight short, tripinnate branchial leaves, arranged upright. Rhinophores short, lamellated, with 18 lamellae. Visceral hump clearly elevated over the rest of the mantle, with several lateral protuberances and a conspicuous depression mid-length. Dorsum completely covered with small caryophyllidia. Body color red, with several large, irregularly opaque white patches, mainly on the mantle margin and some white pigment irregularly scattered all over. Rhinophores and branchial leaves are the same color as the dorsum.
