Philinopsis reticulata is characterised by blue markings on the
inside edge of the anterior part of the parapodia and along the outer
edge of the parapodia. The body colour ranges from white to dull yellow
and there is a reticulate pattern of brown to black.
Pretty similar are Philinopsis pilsbryi
which has no blue markings 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.
