It isof a whitish or reddish color, beautifully varied with simple or decussated brown spots or lines, forming sometimes a very elegant network.

The spire is composed of six pretty distinct, slightly swollen whorls.

Numerous longitudinal folds, slightly projecting, and crossed by decurrent striae, almost amounting to folds, can be seen at the base of the body whorl.

The outer lip is rather thin and indistinctly denticulated within.

[2] This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and off the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico.
