Description

(Original description) The oblong shell is yellowish white. It contains six or seven whorls, tapering and rounded. Each whorl is marked with twelve rather oblique, longitudinal ribs. These are crossed by about the same number of raised transverse striae which produce tubercles at the point of junction and are of purplish brown colour. The suture is rather deep and well-defined, showing the gradual formation and prolongation of the slit. The aperture is oblong. The siphonal canal is short. There is no umbilicus. The transverse striae give the shell a scabrous appearance. [1]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Scotland, UK.
