Description notes Description of external morphology with color notes on a living specimen: size 100 mm; body oval; mantle expanded around the body; mantle edge undulating, except anteriorly; body dark red with a white marginal band; six large gill leaves separated equally; kidney-shaped oral tentacles, crenate; lamellate rhinophores, bent backward; anus elevated; anterior excretory orifice on right side, posteriorly; on left side a small papilla of unknown function.
Own conclusion/opinion on its taxonomic status By the external description and location, there is no doubt that this species should remain as a junior synonym of H. sanguineus .
