(Original description) The large shel lis ovate-acuminate, rather thin and with an acute spire.

The colour of the shell is a pale flesh-pink, darkest behind the aperture, interrupted by a broad white peripheral band.

Sculpture: narrow, shallow punctate grooves numbering about thirty on the body whorl, and on the two previous six each, crowded at the base and wider spaced towards the suture, separate smooth flat-topped narrow spiral riblets.

The inner lip spreads a sheet of callus on the base of the previous whorl.
