[2] The shell is small and broadly spindle-shaped, sculpted with rounded axial ribs crossed by crisp spiral ridges, with fine intermediary spiral threads in between.

[2] The colour of the shell ranges from dirty white to pale orange-brown, with reddish-brown spiral ridges.

The reddish-brown color of the spiral ridges is often interrupted where they cross the axial ribs.

The shell is frequently encrusted with marine organisms, such as zoanthids.

[2] These marine snails are endemic to South Africe and have been found of the eastern and southeastern coasts, at depths of mostly between 100 and 200 m, living on substrata of coarse sand.
