This species is similiar in appearance to Orienthella trilineata but has tall smooth rhinophores in contrast with the short perfoliate ones of O. trilineata. Only recently described, this species has been found from Malibu to Carpinteria along the California coast. Our specimens were at San Pedro Point on Santa Cruz Island and near the west end of the front side of Anacapa.
