The stomach (8.5 cm in length) of the paratype was almost empty, except for one fish eye lens, but an analysis of the intestine (9.0 cm) revealed small pieces of teleostean musculature and a fin spine, a crustacean appendage (pleopod or pereopod), a well-digested 5.0 cm long polychaete body piece, and five dark 22 mm long chaetae, possibly from this same annelid specimen. Reproductive mode oviparous, with just one functional ovary, the right, with four follicles (between 5 and 17 mm diameter), a well-developed nidamental gland, 18 mm (right) and 15 mm (left) in width and fully developed oviducts. Two completely formed slender vase-like dark brown (after fixation) egg cases, one in each oviduct, and both measuring 73 mm in length and 24 mm in width, narrowing at about 1/4 of its length from the anterior border. The surface seems to be smooth in macro view, but with numerous delicate longitudinal ridges and lateral keel along the entire both sides. Both small lateral keel-associated respiratory fissures not reaching to the borders, the anterior measuring 8 mm and the posterior 6 mm in length. Anterior border slightly convex, measuring 1.81 cm in width, pointed in each corner. Posterior margin very small, not measured, with two horn tendrils 3 mm in length in each tip and very small fringed fibrous hair-like filaments between the horns (Ref. 125615). Soares, K.D.D.A., M.R.
