Description
Shells of Distorsio reticularis can reach a length of {{convert|40|-|94|mm}}.{{Gastropods.com|key=5|id=5545|title=Distorsio reticularis|access-date=12 January 2019}} These shells are fusiform, inflated and roughly sculptured with axial and spiral ribs and low axial varices. Spire whorls are irregular, with a wavering suture. The aperture is narrow and distorted (hence the genus name), with strong teeth on the lips and a moderately developed callus. Siphonal canal is rather long and dorsally recurved. Operculum is corneous, irregularly ovate.[ftp://ftp.fao.org/docrep/fao/009/w7191e/w7191e48.pdf Distorsios at FAO.org]{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
