It is pinkish, with sparsely scattered reddish or blackish dots.

The columella is concave, terminating in a minute tooth, and bounded by a longitudinal groove.

There is considerable variation in degree of elongation, some shells being high, subscalariform.

The number of lirae on the penultimate whorl, their equality in size, and the coloration, are the more salient specific characters.

This marine species occurs off South Australia and Tasmania, and off the Solomons.
