Subadyte pellucida is a short-bodied worm with about 40 segments and 15 pairs of
elytra, which bear a marginal fringe of papillae. The lateral antennae are positioned ventrally on the
prostomium, directly beneath median antenna ceratophore. The
notochaetae are about as thick as the
neurochaetae, which also possess bidentate tips.[5]
