They are longitudinally crassicostate with straight ribs and spirally lirate with irregular lirae. Its color is whitish, banded and filleted with chestnut. The incrassate outer lip is much thickened, taeniate, within blood-red or, in one example, chestnut. The columella is stained at the base with the same colour. The aperture is narrow, cinereous or slate-coloured within. The very short siphonal canal is slightly curved. [1]
