The shell is moderately small (maximum length 25 mm) and club-shaped. The spire is high, consisting of one and one-half convex nuclear whorls and five or six convex to weakly shouldered post-nuclear whorls. The suture is deeply impressed. The body whorl is moderately large and elongate-fusoid. The aperture is small and ovate, with a barely discernible anal sulcus. The outer apertural lip is erect and finely serrate, its inner surface weakly crenulate. The columellar lip is detached and erect, with a weak swelling and a twisted groove anteriorly, leading into the siphonal canal. The siphonal canal is long and straight, or slightly bent to the right near its tip.
The body whorl bears eight densely spinose varices. Spiral sculpture consists of five major cords on the body and two or three on the canal; in some major-cord interspaces, minor cords are apparent. Where the cords intersect the varices, short to moderately long, open spines are developed: the longest spines, those developed from the shoulder-margin cord, are straight or curving posteriorly; other spines are shorter and dorsally recurved. Shell color ranges from all white to white with two transverse, orange-brown bands, one on the shoulder and one medial on the body. The aperture is white.
Although this species’ shell morphology is quite unique, its radular dentition indicates its probable relationship to Murexsul Iredale. Known to us only from southeastern Japan and the Philippines.
