(Original description) The subulate shell has a pale flesh colour.

These are sculptured with closely set longitudinal costae, crossed near the upper end by a slight spiral groove, thus forming an infra-sutural crenate band.

The punctations of the upper row are coarser than the rest.

The base of the shell is marked with three revolving punctate grooves.

[2] This marine species occurs in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean off Madagascar, Aldabra and the Mascarene Basin; also off the Andaman Islands and Fiji.
