This species has also been recorded from east and west coasts of Sri Lanka (Schmarda, 1859), Red Sea (Boutan, 1892) and Palau Is (Hyman, 1959). Descriptions (). Lang, 1884:540; Stummer-Traunfels, 1933: 3544; Hyman, 1959a:566; Hyman, 1959b:7. Three pre- served, much flattened specimens from Inhaca I. are available. They are elongate, measuring up to 40 mm long and 25 mm wide, but they may be four times longer than wide. The preserved worms are brownish, but when alive, as seen in a water-colour painting, the colour ranged from violet to deep purple, with a lighter median line dorsal to the intestinal trunk. Colour lighter ventrally. Arrangement of tentacular and cerebral eye-clusters as shown in Pharynx with four pairs of deep lateral folds; hind pair may bifurcate and almost enclose the single male complex bearing a penis-stylet.

Stat., Inhaca I., Mozambique, July 1958 (V. Gabie leg.). This species appears to be widely distributed having been recorded from the Mediterranean, Vietnam, Galapagos Is., Puerto Rico and Bermuda.
