This strange-looking worm is known from only a few records in South Australia. It has a pinkish orange body, which is often covered in silt, with small papillae along its length. Its eight tentacle-like branchiae are a bright orange. Along each side of its body, above the parapodia are tufts of very long hair-like setae. This is the only species of its kind found in SA, and it is unlikely to be mistaken for anything else.
