(Original description as Chrysodomus (Sipho) hypolispus) The length of the brown, polished shell attains 55 mm. It has well rounded six or seven whorls sculptured only by a few obsolete spirals and malleations. The axial sculpture consists of a few incremental lines. The suture is distinct and the spire is rather acute. The siphonal canal is very short and strongly recurved, axis almost pervious. The outer lip is sinuous, throat white. There is a well marked callus on the columella and body. [2]
