(Original description) The shell is shortly fusiform, somewhat harpshaped. The spire is short, turreted and acute. It is longitudinally sharply ribbed, with the ribs sharp pointedly tuberculated above. The upper part of the whorls is flatly angulated. The shell is olive-green, painted in the interstices between the ribs with three rather distant transversc reddish-brown lines. The columella is five-plaited. [2]
