Habitat. Marine, intertidal; coarse shell gravel between low and mid water levels.

Remarks. A redescription of this species based on new material is advisable because the arrangement of the anterior adhesive tubes, as reported in the original description and drawings, appear very different from the usual layout, and the description of the male reproductive apparatus is incomplete.
