The spire is about equal in height to the breadth of the body portion of the last whorl, exclusive of the aperture.

They are strong, prominent, laterally reflexed, crenulated, and bearing a few slender spines upon their edges, which are arranged in three continuous rows from the apex to the base of the beak.

The beak is long and slender, its length equal to rather more than two-fifths the full length of the shell from the apex to the point of the beak.

The greatest transverse diameter, including two of the varice is, 17 millimeters.
