A profound study is still lacking and polyphyly probably occurs, as shown by the radulae of the few species examined.

[2] Species in this genus show a rather solid turreted-fusiform shell, sculptured by bold longitudinal ribs, over-run by dense spiral threads, and decussated by an even finer radial striatum.

The aperture is as long, or longer, than the spire, fortified externally by a stout varix which ascends the previous whorl, includes a semi-circular sinus, and extends a free edge over the mouth.

[3] This genus has a wide distribution in the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the East China Sea; off Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia).

According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), the following species with accepted names are included within the genus Eucithara [4] The Indo-Pacific Molluscan Database adds the following names in current use to the list [5]
