Philinopsis pilsbryi can be easily separated by the colour pattern.
Pretty similar are Philinopsis reticulata
which has blue markings on the inside edge of the anterior part of the
parapodia and along the outer edge of the parapodia and
Philinopsis cf. reticulata
which has very little blue markings at the postorior end of the parapodia. Its
body colour is whitish with a brown reticulate pattern.
Species of Philinopsis are usually found burrowing through sand or mud.
This shot shows a pretty dark colour variant of
Philinopsis pilsbryi.
