Description

The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 10 mm.

The shell is decussated by longitudinal and revolving sculpture. It is yellowish white, with chestnut short longitudinal strigations upon the granules, often upon every alternate rib, interrupted by a central white space, and again painted towards the base. Sometimes this coloring is broken up and more or less dispersed over the surface. [2]

Distribution

This species occurs off Taiwan, Samoa and Queensland, Australia.
