Dorsum variably colored, clear pink to dark violet, with rather small brown spots laterally, decreasing in size.

Base mostly clear, with margins colored and patterned as the dorsum; aperture curved and narrow.

Columellar dentition thinner, weakly evident, disappearing in the more callous specimens.

Soft parts generally translucent; head, mantle and foot cream-grey and weakly spotted with black.

The holotype and paratypes were dredged in June 2003 on rocky bottoms by Philip J. Jooste off the eastern coast of South Africa, NE of Port Alfred, at a depth of about 88–100 m.
