The axial sculpture consists of about 14 rounded ribs nearly reaching the siphonal canal with subequal interspaces. Incremental lines are inconspicuous. The spiral sculpture consists of uniform spiral grooves with wider flattish interspaces, cutting the tops of the ribs. The aperture is short and simple. The inner lip is callous. The short siphonal canal is recurved.^[2]
