Shell small (13.6–22.7 mm in length), ventricose conical to conoid-cylindrical in shape, with a moderate to high spire of straight outline. The
protoconch is high, relatively large (0.6 mm), somewhat eroded and flesh colored vaguely tinted with pale pinkish brown. There are six to nine turreted
spire whorls below the protoconch. The sutural ramps have a slightly concave profile. The early four spire whorls are beaded and contain a strong spiral cord on the inner edge at the suture and a weaker one on the outer edge. The following five spire whorls are strongly nodulose at the outer edge and are concave in outline. The body whorl is very slightly convex in outline. It is covered from base to shoulder with strong and regular spiral cords which are rounded and evenly nodulose. The body whorl has a dull shine and is white or very faint yellow-tan with no distinguishing marks. ==Distribution==
