Tall-spired, conical, spire flat-sided, periphery angulate, base steeply inclined and slightly convex; columella smooth, very weakly notched at the base; umbilicus closed; sides of whorls with five beaded spiral ribs, the peripheral one largest, double, and prominent, seven beaded ribs on the base. Light brown, with darker reddish brown spots on the nodules, especially conspicuous on the peripheral rib. Holotype: 2 cm high; 1.35 cm wide.

Resembles the western Jujubinus lepidus in form but strongly sculptured. It also resembles Thalotia conica in form. Iredale originally placed this common species in Thalotia but it lacks the columellar teeth which characterise that genus. The condition of the columella and sculpture suggest a relationship to C. arruensis of Queensland.
