Margin strongly recurved, thickened, extending posteriorly to suture of body whorl, anteriorly around base of shell to meet first two plications.

Remarks. This species is known from 4 lots. Three lots were dredged respectively south, east and north off Viti Levu on the west side of the Fiji Archipelago, in the lower coral reef levels and upper bathyal; a fourth lot comes from the eastern part of the archipelago (Vanua Balavu, Lau Islands, upper bathyal). This species shows as much variable by its size as well as by its general outline.
Etymology. Named after the main island of the Fiji Archipelago.
