This animal has a strong and vivid pink-orange subterminal ring on the cerata not mentioned in the original description, but present in other specimens from Queensland and so clearly part of this species’ intraspecific variation. Your animal is a New Record for Southern Queensland. Following Jensen (1997) the family name is Limapontiidae. Richard Willan
