(Original description in Latin) The shell is small, reddish-brown, and turreted, covered with a thin epidermis. Its
spire margins are nearly straight. The four nuclear
whorls are smooth and swollen, forming a mammillated
apex. The five normal whorls are very swollen, with impressed sutures. Nine very swollen, broad radial ribs are present, becoming obsolescent anteriorly and posteriorly, with wavy interspaces. The spiral lirae are more acute and distant, surpassing the ribs, and elegantly undulate along the interspaces; six to eight of these are shown on the spire. The
aperture is oval, extended into a short, straight
siphonal canal, and is not lirate within. The outer
lip is acute, joined to an acute, projecting labium at the suture. The
columella is flattened. The
operculum is nassoid. ==Distribution==
