As Muricopsis angolensis Ohdner:

The shell is small (maximum length 10 mm) and fusiform. The spire is high, consisting of six weakly convex postnuclear whorls. The suture is weakly impressed. The body whorl is moderately large and fusoid. The aperture is ovate, with an indistinct anal sulcus. The outer apertural lip is erect and coarsely, marginally dentate; its inner surface bears five strong, knobby denticles, one above the shoulder margin and four evenly spaced below it. The columellar lip is adherent above, detached and weakly erect below. The siphonal canal is short, broad, moderately open, and distally recurved.
The body whorl bears seven tuberculate varices, equal in breadth to the interspaces. The varices are somewhat rounded dorsally, richly laminate ventrally. Other axial sculpture is lacking. Spiral sculpture consists of major cords, five on the body and two on the canal, and numerous fine striae. Where the major cords intersect the varices, short, open, scalelike, ventrally bent spines are developed.
Shell color is pale bull-yellow, except for three dark-brown spiral bands, these most intense over the varices: one at the shoulder margin, one at the base of the body, and one on the canal. The interior of the aperture is a polished brown.
