it is moderately stout, with slightly shouldered, convex whorls, and a regularly tapered, acute spire.

The whorls of the spire are obscurely shouldered at about the middle, above which the broad, sloping subsutural band is slightly concave.

The transverse sculpture consists of fine, slightly flexuous lines of growth, crossing both the cinguli and their intervals, and on the subsutural band becoming more prominent in the form of oblique, recurved riblets, which do not take the form of nodules.

The outer lip is thin, strongly convex in the middle, with a broad and shallow posterior sinus above the shoulder.

The protoconch whorls are deep chestnut-brown, very minutely reticulated by oblique lines running in two directions.
