Description

Shell size average for the genus, thin shelled. Shape conical with concave whorls. Overall outline of the shell triangular. Protoconch small, slightly eroded, white and translucent. Suture shallow but easy to see, embedded between the prominent rib of the keel and a heavy subsutural rib. Shell with 7,5 whorls. After the first whorls the sculpture of each whorl consists of a prominent subsutural rib covered with elongate oblique blunt knobs. This rib is so developed that it extends of the almost equally developed rib on the keel. The latter rib is alternatively pink and yellow colored, while the subsutural rib is green, alternating light and dark green patches. Between these 2 primary ribs 4 weaker spiral ribs covered with knobs that are set in oblique axial lines and connected with weaker axial ribs. The color of the knobs is remarkable: alternating white, pink and yellow-green. The base is covered with 9 spiral rows of flattened knobs, interconnected with small axial lines. The 3 spiral ribs close to the umbilicus are white colored, the others are alternating white pink and orange-yellow. There is a small but deep umbilicus. Columella white with one big tooth. Outer lip broken in the holotype.

Interchangeable taxa

We compare this species with another Jujubinus that has a superficially resembling pattern:
Jujubinus geographicus n. sp.
This species is readily distinguished by the smaller size, different sculpture and the straight whorls, not concave whorls.
