Description

Originally described as Mitra xerampelina, this is a somewhat shining, dark-red shell, cylindraceous, much attenuate and black towards the apex. It contains ten whorls. It is longitudinally costate, the ribs compressed, and is transversely finely striate. The last three whorls are more or less ventricose. The siphonal canal is slightly produced and recurved. In the type specimen, the epidermis is still adherent to the interstices of the body whorl, between the ribs. [3]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Aden.
