Description of external body.

Body white, first ~ 8 whorls darker because of dark hepatopancreas; tentacles almost cylindrical but a little larger at the base, with thickening, pale brownish tip; eyes not distinctly visible (Fig. 19 View Figure 19 ).

Distribution.

Roura, Saül (including Mont Galbao), Itoupé, and Montagnes de la Trinité are new records for this species previously only known from its type locality in Nouragues ( Gargominy and Muratov 2012), suggesting a much broader distribution probably extending outside French Guiana.

Remarks.

The first living specimens ever found are reported here; they were barcoded without success.
