Shell elongate-conic, stout, heavy, white, with a row of brown spots a little above the suture which are confined to the ribs. Nuclear whorls 2.5, quite small, forming an almost mucronate apex. The first 1.5 are smooth followed by a part that has very closely spaced hairlike axial threads, and this is succeeded by a part in which the axial sculpture consists of slender riblets which are distantly spaced, which in turn passes over to a portion having axial ribs phis week spiral striations, an acceleration of the adolescent sculpture. Postnuclear whorls well rounded, appressed at the summit, marked by heavy, broad, humplike axial ribs which evanesce in the posterior sinal region and on the base. Of these ribs 9 occur on all of the whorls. In addition to these axial ribs the whorls are marked by slender closely spaced axial threads which are present in the intercostal spaces and on the ribs and are best shown in the depressed spaces between the spiral threads. The spiral sculpture consists of slender subequal cords of which 11 are present on the first, 12 on the second 13 on the third, 18 on the fourth, 24 on the fifth, and 25 on the last Whorl between the summit and the suture. The crossing of these spiral threads and the finer axial sculpture gives to the entire surface of the shell a fenestrated appearance. Periphery well rounded. Base short strongly rounded, marked by 21 slender spiral cords which are a little heavier than those on the spire. The finer axial sculpture also persist here. Columella short, stout, and heavy with a feeble umbilical chink where the inner lip joins the columella anteriorly. It is marked by more or less ill-defined spiral cords which grow successively heavier anteriorly. Thirteen of these are countable. Aperture moderately large, decidedly channeled anteriorly and posteriorly with a rather conspicuous stromboid notch, the outer lip being protracted between the stromboid notch and the posterior channel into a clawlike element. There is a heavy varix about one-third of a turn behind the outher lip; the inner lip is reflected over the columella as a very heavy callus, showing lines of growth on its edge. The callus extends over the parietal wall and forms a decided hump at its junction with the outer lip which overshadows the posterior canal.
