Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 20.0 cm WD male/unsexed; (Ref. 2992)
Up to 20 cm wide; marginal lappets all alike, semicircular, thin; stomachpouches all of equal width, septa straight; in each octant 3 tentacles, all alike; exumbrella with 16 broad radial brown bands bordered by darker, narrow V-shaped lines; marginal lappets brown.
