Description
edit(Original description) The rather elongated shell is thin and somewhat transparent. Its color is whitish, rather indistinctly streaked or waved with yellow. It contains eight whorls. These are transversely lineated and ridged, very finely reticulated also with striae. A number of lines and ridges run transversely across the whorls, but none longitudinally. The columella is spirally twisted. The siphonal canal is very short, a little recurved. The outer lip is simple and sharp. The sinus is small. [2]
