Its eyes are closer to the top of its head than to its lip, and are surrounded by a narrow whitish ring; its eye diameter approximates 0.6mm (its lens being no larger than its naris). Its nares are slightly posterior to level of the anterior margin of its mouth. Its teeth are slender and recurved, while its tongue is not strongly plicate. Its choanae are narrow, the distance between them being four or five times their

It possesses fifteen denticulations around its vent. While in preservation, the animal is of a lilac-grey colour with a brownish tinge, being slightly paler ventrally. Lateral stripes extend from about the second or third posteriormost annulus to about the eye level on the upper jaw. Narrow and pale lines extend dorsally and are thickest near the nares.
