Description
This species has 14 to 18 lateral grooves on either side, all branching. The papillae are low, rounded, and pairs are often fused into low ridges. The two tentacles are thick and protrude directly forward, about half the length of those of Athoracophorus bitentaculatus. There is only a vestigial internal shell in the form of numerous small calcareous particles. Coloration is brownish-grey, mottled with black.
