The surface of the leaflets tend to observe fine markings which correspond to the long lines. The coloration is variable ranging from dark brown to greenish brown. In the animal body highlights large posterior adductor muscle development, which in individuals of sizes between 150 and 200 mm can reach a diameter of about 40 mm.[1][2]
