Description
This species is very distinctively coloured. It has apparently only been found twice, first in 1838–42 and then in 1959, when it was photographed. The mantle has a creamy straw-coloured background with an orange border and there are irregularly shaped red spots all over the back. The gill leaves are white with red edging and the rhinophore clubs are bright orange. The body length reaches 40 mm.
