Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 8 mm and 20 mm.

(Original description) The shell, characterized by its short, fusiform shape, displays a striking purplish-pink hue. Its base is a paler shade, providing a subtle contrast. The shell comprises seven whorls, including the two large, obtuse whorls of the protoconch. The oblique ribs are most prominent at their upper ends. The purplish-pink color intensifies at the midpoint of the body whorl, forming a faint spiral band. The aperture constitutes two-fifths of the shell's total length. The thin outer lip has a sinuate form near the suture. The columella is slightly curved in the middle and oblique at the base. The short siphonal canal is wide and gently recurved. [3]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Tierra del Fuego, the Strait of Magellan and off the Falklands. [4]
