[[/top right corner]] Animal depressed irregular conic. crushed strawberry colored, with an orange-rufus irregular knobbed cross [[partial strikeout]] band that divides it in an anterior and posterior half. Notum tough conaceous, irregularly rounded, with a slight emargination posteriorly and a deeply incised sinus anteriorly entire outer border mottled white with small brown and greenish yellow areas, the rest crushed strawberry colored excepting the median cross band, and a spot portion to this. The pink areas are finely granular at the surface and have numerous deeper colored pores. The varicose orange-rufus band about 1/5th of the entire length in diameter. The anal pore is situated on the middle of the posterior pink area and is surrounded by an orange rufus area. The [[insertion]] edges [[/insertion]] incised anterior sinus are approximated and reflected to form a lowly [[partial strikeout]] elevated canal or siphon; [[insertion]] which is deep red within [[/insertion]]. Epinoteum [[insertion]] very broad [[/insertion]] white with streaks [[insertion]] and blotches [[/insertion]] of crushed strawberry red color and dots of [[insertion]] a pinkish [[/insertion]] liver brown Head short hood. Tentacles long slender conic projecting at times for several mm [[insertion]] united at base where they have a small [[p? ?]] [[/insertion]] beyond the notum [[insertion]] under side [[/insertion]] bearing a small black dot like, eye at the base, on the outside Foot [[insertion]] broadly oval [[/insertion]] only about 1/3 the diameter of the entire animal yellowish white profusely spotted with very fine smashed strawberry red dots - giving the whole foot a submarginal color. The same color pattern [[? ?]] is the back [[,]] lips [[,]] and tentacles. No rhinophores or branchiae were observed in its living specimen. The fully retracted animal measures: length 28. mm diameter 24. mm. height 8.0 mm.
Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
- branchial: relating to the gills vs. bronchia: primary divisions of the trachea - Probably a marine flatworm since no rhinophores or bronchia-- probably a Pseudoceros leptostichus. But illustration does not have green. - Description for the specimen illustrated on page 12. - orange-rufus = orange-red
