Sapphirina nigromaculata is a moderately broad species. The furcal joints are elongate 
ovate in shape and are fully twice as long as broad. The apex of each joint is rather narrowly 
rounded. The inner margin terminates in a small tooth. 
This species has been recorded from the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and from 
the Mediterranean, and Red Sea.
