This species can be distinguished from J. daoulasi by the following set of characters: less elongate and lacks the network of white pigment; accessory gland is comparatively smaller, the bursa copulatrix is much larger in comparison to the seminal receptable, and the deferent duct is shorter in comparison to the vagina. The pale brown egg mass is a highly coiled ribbon with ca. seven tightly packed whorls with a wavy upper edge (Ref. 128438).
Found on rock, algae including Halimeda and on an unidentified brownish grey sponge on which is highly cryptic (Ref. 128438).
