Description

The length of the shell varies between 12 mm and 20 mm.

The turreted shell is easily recognized by its ribs which, like the transverse striations, are elevated and somewhat lamellous. The color is either black or brown, mixed with white or entirely pink. The seven whorls are convex. The outer lip is wrinkled. The transverse striations extend as far as the columella. The siphonal canal is short and straight. [2]
