It contains some white spots, forming a sort of zone beneath the sutures.

It presents also several varieties of color, and some specimens are found which are covered with small grayish points.

The whitish aperture is delicately shaded with a pale violet, rather small, narrow, terminated by a straight siphonal canal, short, and very slightly effuse at its extremity.

The columella lip is covered in front by a pointed callosity, which partially conceals the striae of the base of the body whorl and exhibits a row of five or six small guttules.
