The shell is ovate, turreted, polished, pointed at its summit, indistinctly striated in its whole length.

The ovate aperture is whitish, marked likewise, with a few brown lines towards the depth of the cavity, exhibiting pretty distinct furrows.

The outer lip is thin, terminated below by a small siphonal canal, at its union with the columella.

From the base juts out a round fold, which is seen to turn in a spiral manner in the umbilicus.

The ovate operculum is membranous, its laminae not spiral, having one or two notches to receive the folds of the columella.
