External diagnosis ( Hyman 1941). Largest specimen 33 mm. Anterior end narrow, body quickly widening to broad flat shape. Dorsum with black mottling on a dark-brown background. A diffuse median dorsal band is only evidenced on the middle part of the body, caused by the absence of black pigment that shows the background color. Eyes surrounding the anterior end in a single row, then extending to several rows that occupy about one-third of the body width at about the anterior third of the body, then decreasing in width to the level of the pharynx, from which only a few scattered eyes occur to the posterior end ( Fig 2c View FIGURE 2 , 3 View FIGURE 3 ).
