Phanerophthalmus albocollaris is characterized by a purplish body, distinctive is the opaque white "W" at
the posterior end of the ead shield. Some specimens have another small patch of minute opaque white spots at the posterior end.
The genus Phanerophthalmus has a remarkable resemblance to members of the family Aglajidae, and until quite
recently was considered to be a member of that family. It is an herbivorous opisthobranch, closely related to the genus Haminoea, with a similar radula and gizzard plates.
