(Original description) The solid, high, narrow shell has a conical shape and is blunt at the apex, roundly much contracted at the base.
The 5 whorls of the spire are straight, sloping, with two carinae, slightly nodulated, equidistant from each other and the sutures, the lower much the larger and rounder.
The siphonal canal is short and open, slightly bent to the left.
The outer lip is thin, simple, crenulated outside by the spirals.
The colour is dull creamy-white, with irregular faint-brown narrow axial flames, with a tendency to follow the curve of growth lines.
