Lobus cephalicus brevis, oculis mediocribus, antennis brevissimis. Palpi ante orificium oris obvii, cirriformes. Pharynx 33mm longa, papillis cirriformibus duabus longissimis, laevibus. Pedes lanceolati, cirris foliaceis, dorsuali cordiformi; aciculis singulis, vitreis, apices pedum non penetrantibus." [details]
Distribution Mediterranean Sea: Gulf of Naples (Italy). [details]
Etymology Not stated in the original description. The specific epithet formosa is a Latin adjective meaning 'beautiful' or 'handsome', and refers presumably to the aesthetic valoration made by Claparède (1870: 480) of the species: "Cette espèce est, sans contredit, l'un des Alciopiens les plus beaux du golfe de Naples. [...] la grande taille de ce ver, parfaitement incolore, à l'exception des yeux et des organes glandulaires, en fait l'un des plus splendides ornements des aquariums." [details]
Habitat Not stated in the original description. Type material collected during the winter 1868-1869. [details]
Type locality Gulf of Naples, Mediterranean Sea (gazetteer estimate 40.7°, 14.25°). [details]
