Shell of medium size, elongate-conic, light brown. Nuclear whorls 2,1, the early portion well rounded, smooth, followed by a short portion marked by axial lirations which in turn passed into the last .5 marked by equally spaced, slender, almost vertical axial riblets which are slightly retractively curved at the summit. Postnuclear whorls rounded, marked by heavy humplike axial ribs which attain their greatest development on the anterior two-thirds of the whorls. Of these ribs, which are about twice as wide as the spaces that separate them. 8 occur upon the first and second, 0 upon the third, 10 upon the fourth, 12 upon the fifth, and 9 upon the last whorl. In addition, the entire surface of the shell is marked by fine incremental lines. The spiral sculpture consists of heavy spiral cords, which cross the axial ribs. Of these cords, two occur upon the first three postnuclear whorls which are separated by spaces equal to them in width, while three arc present on the fourth. Of these, the first is a little less strong than the other two. On the fifth whorl four of the strong cords are present, of which the third is a little less strong than the other three, which arc about equal. The last whorl has five of these strong cords, of which the third and fifth are not quite as strong as the others. In addition to these, there are two moderately strong cords at the appressed summit of all the whorls but the first, which has one. In addition to the heavy spiral sculpture there is a secondary and much weaker sculpture which consists of fine spiral lirations. Of these there are three present on the first postnuclear whorl between the cord at the summit and the two strong cords anterior to the sinus. On the second whorl between the two moderate cords at the summit and the two strong cords anterior to the sinus, the sinal region is marked by six lirations, while three are present between the two strong cords. On the third whorl 11 lirations occur between the cords at the summit and the first strong cord anterior to the sinus, and 5 between the two strong cords. Between the two moderate cords at the summit of the fourth whorl one spiral liration is present, while nine occur between the moderate cords and the first strong cord, three between the first and second strong cords, and eight between the second and third. The fifth whorl is marked by 2 spiral lirations between the two cords at the summit, 14 lirations from the second cord at the summit and the first strong cord, 6 between the first and second strong cords, 2 between the second and third, and 5 between the third and fourth. There are nine lirations between the fourth cord and the suture. The last whorl, like the fifth, has two spiral lirations between the cords at the summit. The sinal region is marked by 16 spiral lira¬tions while the spaces between the § strong cords anterior to the sinus are marked by 5 lirations between the first and second, 2 between the second and third, 5 between the third and fourth, and 2 between the fourth and fifth. The combination of the fine spiral lirations and the incremental lines produces a clothlike pattern, and the junction of these two fine elements gives to the shell a finely granulose aspect. The periphery of the last whorl is marked by a spiral cord which is equal in strength to the five posterior to it. Ease stout, moderately long, marked by the continuation of the axial ribs, and three spiral cords. There are eight spiral lirations between the periphery and the first basal cord, five between the first and second cords, and six between the second and third. Columella stout, moderately long, marked by seven spiral cords which are of the same strength as those on the base. Between the last basal and first columellar cord there are 10 spiral lirations. Nine spiral lirations are present between the first and second columellar cords, nine between the second and third, five between the third and fourth, four between the fourth and fifth, three between the fifth and sixth, and two between the sixth and seventh. Aperture moderately long, deeply channeled anteriorly and posteriorly, the posterior sinus falling a little anterior to the summit. The outer lip is protracted between the anterior channel and the posterior sinus into a clawlike element. There is a heavy varix a little beyond the edge of the outer lip. The inner lip is reflected over the columella as a heavy callus which extends over the parietal wall and forms a knob at its junction with the outer lip which projects into the posterior sinus. Length, 12.3 mm; greater diameter, 4.5 mm.
