Description

The length of the shell attains 13 mm, its diameter 4 mm.

This rather solid shell had a high spire with 8 convex whorls, separated by a distinct suture. The whorls in the protoconch are smooth. The others show axial plicae that are a little arcuate and become sigmoid on the body whorl. The aperture is rather wide and lacks a siphonal canal at its base. The columella shows a callosity that becomes rather thick at the top. The outer lip is incrassate, bends off inwards and ends at the top into a large and deep sinus. The color of the shell is white, banded in the upper whorls by a series of brown spots between the axial plicae. [1]
