Branchial and rhinophoral sheaths low, simple, circular; gill composed of seven wide, tripinnate branchial leaves, extended laterally, lying on the dorsum in the living animal. A low, irregular, inconspicuous ridge runs between the rhinophores and the gill, not clearly visible in all specimens. Rhinophores very elongate, almost conical, lamellated, with 15 or 16 lamellae. Body color pinkish to orange, with irregular darker patches all over the dorsum. Rhinophores reddish; branchial leaves the same color as the dorsum.ETYMOLOGY
