The siphonal canal is very long and narrow, unemarginate. The anal notch, according to growth lines and ribs, is rather wide and shallow, the apex lying on a prominent spiral some distance from suture. The columella bears two strong Mitra-like folds. The sculpture consists of strong axial and spiral cords, forming an open lattice-work. [2]
