SUMMARY
"Body flat, plastic in outline, but elliptical when at rest, closely conforming with and adhering to scales of Halidmeda; color deep green with white irregular patches, concentrated at margins. Pericardium ovoid, with about 5 dendritic posterolateral vessels. Tooth robust, strongly hooked, with strong denticles. L. 15 mm.
The parapodia of bosellids are not true parapodia, but represent a very broad foot...the margin of the foot is directly joined to the dorsal body surface" (Clark, 1984, The Nautilus p. 91).
