Description

The white shell is narrow and subcylindrical. It is decussated with longitudinal striae and slight spiral sulci. The aperture is as long as the spire. The outer lip is finely crenulated within, sinuously produced in the middle, acutely toothed. The whorls are banded with brown above and compressed at the sides. [2]

(Described as Mitra nassoides) The thick shell is pale yellowish, oblong-subgibbose, subcancellated with rather unequal crenated longitudinal ribs and spiral undulated ridges nodose upon the ribs. The aperture equals the spire in length and is sinuously contracted. The outer lip is toothed, acuminated above the middle, angular below the middle, acuminated in front. [2]

Distribution

The holotype of this marine species was found off the Philippines.
