Appearance

The bipinnate gill plume is small and white, consisting of three branches. Both extrarhinophoral and extra-branchial appendages are average sized and particularly white. The anterior margins of the foot extend laterally as elongate appendages are more translucent than the rest of the body and are slightly longer than the oral tentacles. The long, conical oral tentacles and oral veil are particularly white. The white pigmentation on the dorsal ridge of the most posterior portion of the foot appears as if it is clumpy.

Distribution

Known only from the Philippines.
