There is some confusion about the accepted name for this species. The website Gastropods.com considers this species a synonym of Mangelia carpenteri(Folin, L. de, 1867) It was also considered a synonym of Bathytoma tremperiana(Dall, 1911), [2] itself considered by W.H. Dall a synonym of Cryptoconus tremperianusDall, 1911. [3] But then WoRMS considers this last name a synonym of Megasurcula carpenteriana (Gabb, 1865) [4]
The length of the shell attains 60 mm.
