(Original description) The sculpture of the shell much resembles Globidrillia smirna (Dall, 1881), especially on the older whorls which differ from those of G. smirna in the following particulars : the protoconch is a rich, dark, shining brown.he nodules have more extended bases, and want the white tips.

The color of the whorls is more clearly translucent, wanting the pinkish tinge and the white sutural line; the whorls increase more rapidly in size, and are strongly appressed against their predecessors, thus making the line of the suture irregular.

There is no spiral sculpture, even on the siphonal canal where traces are usually perceptible.

The anal sulcus is moderately deep, the notch-band not strongly marked.

[2] This species occurs in the demersal zone of the Caribbean Sea (Cuba), the Gulf of Mexico and the Lesser Antilles (the Grenadines) at a depth of over 500 m.
