The pattern of this species is variable, but the body is often

in white to light yellow translucent tones,

of which a certain density of black spots predominates on the upper parts.

The elongated body consists of a head, which is called ‘head shield’ due to its shape.

There are no rhinophores, but a pair of chemical receptors located on each side of the head,

slightly behind the shield.
