The whorls are convex, scarcely depressed at the sutures, and encircled by slender grooves and a bicarinate and superiorly flattened zone. The aperture is oblong and whitish. The outer lip is somewhat denticulate and deeply fissured. The siphonal canal is rather long, slender, and flexuous at the base. ^[2]
