We have not seen a specimen of this shell; the following is translated from the original Latin:
"Murex, the shell solid, ovate-oblong, whitish gray, the whorls six, entirely costate, the costae very solid, varicose [i.e. forming varices], each composed of six fimbriae [leaves or layers]; each of five moderately angulate postnuclear whorls bears heavy, solid, squamate-lirate cords; the aperture is rotundly ovate; the outer apertural lip is prettily multifimbriate, white to straw-colored, coarse | solid], the inner surface is shining [white], bearing nine or ten crenulations; siphonal canal briefly rostrate, almost closed."

Known only from the Persian Gulf (type locality).
