The nuchal tentacles are orange, and the body margin is orange or pink. The species has marginal, tentacular, and cerebral eyes. Its gonopores are separated. The male reproductive system features prominent prostatic vesicle, which is oval, and polyglandular, an elongayed and prominent seminal vesicle, and a short the penis papilla. The female reproductive system features a scarcely developed, narrow, and short vagina, oriented towards the anterior region of the body, and lacks a Lang’s vesicle.
