The whorls in the protoconch are often pinkish tinged. The other whorls are strongly shouldered, and angulate in the upper portion of each whorl, very rugose. The longitudinal ribs are smooth and obtuse. They are thinly brown-lined, in the middle dark brown-zoned. The white aperture is oblong. The outer lip is straight and thick. The columella is four-plaited. [2]
