The ovate, oblong shell is smooth, shining, and of a reddish or whitish yellow.

It is ornamented with small longitudinal lines, waved, vermiculated or flexuous, of a chestnut color.

At the base of each whorl of the spire, is found a transverse band of slightly apparent, articulated black points.

A band, more strongly marked, the points of which are more distinctly observable, surrounds the body whorl.

[2] This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and off the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico.
