Description

The length of the shell varies between 30 mm and 70 mm.

(Original description) The shell is elongate-ovate with a short spire composed of 4-4.5 whorls, distinctly channeled at the suture. The columella bears four strong, subequal, oblique plaits, the most posterior of which extends into a ridge on the thickened anterior belt.

The shell is whitish and the body whorl displays five spiral rows of longitudinally elongate-oblong tawny spots, including one row at the suture. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Queensland, East Australia.
