"Length of animal about 5 mm. Body elongate-elliptical, bluntly rounded at both ends. Back covered sparsely with small conical tubercles. Oral tentacles broad lobiform, with a slit-like mouth between them. Rhinophore-sheath with smooth margin. Branchial plumes 6, small, simply pinnate, completely retractile within a cavity with smooth margin. Foot produced behind in a fairly long tail, the anterior end abruptly rounded and simply labiate. Integument with spicules. General body-colour yellow, margin of mantle with orange-yellow line fading out to yellow to the edge." [1] [4]
