Description
The thick, elongated shell has a pyramidal shape. It is red brown below the epidermis. The pyramidal spire is elongated and it lacks a tumid part anterior to the obtuse and not very prominent angle. The shell lacks a tumid varix at the top of each of the 12 whorls, which can be found in other species of this genus. The small aperture has a white color on top and below, but is yellow in the middle part. The sinus of the outer lip is almost square and extends deeply.[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/28555820#page/322/mode/1up Mr. G.B.
