(Original description of Fusus couderti in French) The ventricose shell is whitish, marked with irregular ferruginous-brown spots. It features high, fairly acute whorls, totaling eight, each elegantly furrowed and presenting a series of depressed tubercles that form a keel-like structure. The oval-rounded aperture on the right side has crenellations that extend quite far into the interior. The callous columella is furnished at its base with a thick, dentiform fold. The lower end of the shell tapers into a fairly long tail that curves slightly backward at the extremity. [2]
