The spiral sculpture consists of (on the upper whorls 4 or 5, on the body whorl about 14) strong cords with narrower groove-like interspaces, extending from the fasciole to the siphonal canal.

The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl 13, on the body whorl 10) rounded ribs with subequal interspaces, strongest at the shoulder, extending from suture to the base.

The anal sulcus is deep and rounded with a callous margin.
