Eulagisa corrientis has 38 segments and 15 pairs of elytra. The lateral antennae are inserted terminally on anterior margin of the prostomium. The elytra bear a marginal fringe of papillae and the notochaetae are distinctly thicker than the neurochaetae, with bidentate neurochaetae also present.[2]
