(Original description) This handsome species is well characterized by its form, the style of coloration, and sculpture.

The recurved hollow spine upon the varices about the middle of the upper whorls is a prominent feature in the ornamentation.

The longitudinal slender ribs, which are nodulous where certain of the transverse lirae cross them, increase in number with the growth of the shell.

The transverse colour-bands, when examined closely, are found to consist of groups of coloured lirae.

[2] This marine species can be found in the Persian Gulf and in the Pacific Ocean along Indonesia.
