The imperforate shell has a turbinate shape with a conical spire, nine whorls and deeply, broadly canaliculate sutures.

The periphery is formed of a squamose keel which is spirally irregularly striated.

Both above and below this third row a few spiral elevated lines are noticeable.

Although quite smooth within, it has the appearance of being sulcated, the pseudo-sulci corresponding to the rows of granules.
