; fusiform, elongate. Protoconch paucispiral, bulbous, of 1.5–1.7 smooth whorls. Transition to teleoconch indistinct. Teleoconch of 4–4.2 whorls, slightly convex, thin, translucent; suture slightly incised. Surface without axial sculpture apart from wide thickened rib near lip. Spiral sculpture of weak band just below suture. Remaining whorls smooth apart from basal cords, clearly present on last whorl, extending to just below adapical end of columella. Aperture rather wide, 38–42% of shell height. Outer lip thickened, bearing continuations of basal cords on abapical end. Inside denticulate with weak sinus on adapical end. Up to 6 denticles, adapically stronger. Columellar callus thick with row of slightly merged denticles, abapically stronger. Parietal callus rather thick. Siphonal canal very short, half-open, slightly recurved. Teleoconch whorls yellow-brown, with network of irregular white spots. Protoconch white to off-white with darker nucleus. Aperture and columella white. Radula not studied. Height of
