Material examined. Three specimens on dead coral rubble at 18 m from the outer coral reef in front of Carrie Bow Cay (sample CBC-KF 1018), 1 specimen on dead corals rubble at 7–10 m from the outer reef in front of Carrie Bow Cay (sample CBC-KF 1011).

Remarks. This species, endemic to the Caribbean, is about 13 mm long, with 10 pairs of radioles showing five yellow-red cross-bands on pinnules.
