Fusiturris amianta

(Translated from the French original description) The solid, shiny shell has an extended fusiform shape.

The high, turreted spire consists of 11 almost flat whorls (the first one is missing).

They show at their top an angular keel and at the bottom a large bead with obliquely lined nodules.

The body whorl occupies half the height tor of the shell.

It is barely twisted toward the base of the siphonal canal and topped with a thin, shiny callus.
