Short description Morphology

A groove extending from where the parapodium originates almost completely divided the food anteriorly. Parapodia are fleshy, with small, blunt papillae. Parapodia held together dorsally, creating two distinct funnels which are marked by thick glandular patches. Color ranges from reddish brown, to brown, to dark green. Small yellow, orange, and iridescent blue spots are scattered all over the body.
