The outer lip is essentially linear, exhibiting minimal sinuosity.
In adult and intact specimens, it displays a barely perceptible emargination near the posterior suture.
The columella is nearly straight, showing two prominent folds that descend along its central portion.
The siphonal canal is notably short and exhibits a sinistral curvature.
