) Living animals are up to 25 mm long. The body is elongate, limaciform, bright orange, and with the whole body covered with reddish dots except the foot. These dots are especially dense in the portions around the bases of the lateral appendages and branchial leaves. The lateral portions of the body have scattered white patches composed of dots in series and are moderately transparent so that the digestive gland is visible. The mantle is rather smooth, with very few small, white tubercles on the dorsum. The oral tentacles are flat and wide. The head bears eight velar appendages, which are short, pale orange-yellow, semitranslucent with reddish dots, and the tips are a brighter orange-red color. There are clusters of short, acute ramifications on the velar appendages. The bases of these ramifications are orange-red, while the rest is cream-colored. The dorsum has four pairs of lateral appendages that are larger than the appendages on the head, also with clusters of ramifications. These dorsal appendages share almost the same shape and coloration as the velar ones except that each of the dorsal appendages bears more ramifications. The gill is situated between the second and third pair of appendages. There are five tripinnate branchial leaves and they have the same coloration as the body; the stems of the leaves are translucent and have bright orange dots. The rhinophores have a semitranslucent peduncle with small, dense, orange-yellow dots. The clavus is orange in color, with approximately 16-18 rhinophoral lamellae and with a white tip and a white line on the anterior side. The rhinophoral sheath is short and speckled with orange-yellow dots. The posterior part of the foot is elongate, acutely pointed, and red-orange, with many opaque, white, pointed tubercles that are concentrated centrally.

) The reproductive system is triaulic. The vas deferens is enlarged in the distal portion and differentiated into an inflated prostate which joins the bursa copulatrix via a thin duct. The vagina is rather narrow, only one-third of the length of the vas deferens, and enters directly to the oval bursa copulatrix. From the bursa copulatrix emerges a short duct that divides into a uterine duct, which connects to the oval female gland mass, and a crooked duct connecting to the receptaculum seminis. The ampulla is short, coiled, and enters into the female gland mass in a relatively distal position. The penis has spines which are elongated and of equal width (Suppl. material 2).
