[1] This marine species occurs in the demersal zone off Japan, Taiwan, China and Vietnam.

[2] The oblong-fusiform shell has a yellowish flesh-color, with zigzagged longitudinal chestnut lines.

The spire is moderately elongated, terminating in a papillary summit with the apex lateral, instead of central and vertical as usual in spiral shells.

The surface is plicate longitudinally, crossed by engraved revolving lines.

[4][5] Embryos develop into free-swimming planktonic marine larvae (trochophore) and later into juvenile veligers.
