Description

The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 11.5 mm.

At the base of the body whorl, around the cauda, a faint brown band is traceable. The smooth furrow at the top of the ten whorls, their reticulated surface, and the rather produced but narrow siphonal canal are characters at once indicating this species. [2]

Distribution

This species was found off Hengam Island in the Persian Gulf; also off Japan.
