Last whorl with maximum convexity above mid-whorl, with nearly straight or slightly concave profile towards the abapical part; no definite fasciole around siphonal canal. Aperture elongate, with outer lip definitely bent at its insertion on the preceding whorl, then with very slightly convex profile in apertural view; adapical sinus indistinct. Parietal and columellar callus thin, continuous, sharply delimited, appressed. Columella with three definite, oblique columellar folds, blunt, the abapical one weaker, and a hardly visible fourth fold abapically to these. Outer lip not thickened but with a rounded edge. Siphonal canal moderately short, moderately wide, straight with incised siphonal notch. Colour of teleoconch uniformly tawny. Living animal with a pure white head-foot and some opaque white blotches over the siphon.</paragraph>
