[2] The Australian Faunal Directory considers Monilea lentiginosa Adams, 1853 to be a synonym of Monilea callifera (Lamarck, 1822) The size of the shell varies between 12 mm and 24 mm.

It is lusterless with a whitish color, unicolored or obscurely striped or maculate with brown or buff.

The entire surface is covered with sharp close uneven spiral riblets with deeply incised interstices, and very fine, close, longitudinal growth lamellae, forming compressed beads on the lirae, and generally lamellae in the interstices.

The oblique aperture is rounded-quadrangular, with 10 or 11 plicae within, which attain the edge of the lip.
