The shell is moderately small (maximum length 50 mm) and fusiform. The spire is high, consisting of one and three-fourths convex nuclear whorls and six weakly convex postnuclear whorls. The suture is strongly undulate and weakly impressed. The body whorl is moderately large. The aperture is wide and ovate to lenticular, with a broad, shallow anal sulcus, this delimited on each side by a single strong ridge or node. The outer apertural lip is erect, weakly crenulate, and marginally reflected on its anterior portion. The columellar lip is adherent above, detached and moderately erect below; close to the reflected edge of the columellar lip is a longitudinal furrow; slightly more deeply recessed into the aperture is a series of elongate denticles, four above, on the adherent portion of the lip, six below, on the detached portion. The siphonal canal is moderately long, narrowly open, and weakly recurved at its distal end.
The body whorl bears three strong, rounded varices. Intervarical axial sculpture consists of two strong costae and numerous very fine, scabrous lamellae. Spiral sculpture consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary elements. Narrow primary cords alternate on the body with secondaries; between each primary and secondary, a tertiary is evident. The canal bears only primary cords. Minute spines, occasionally linked by a brief webbing, arise at the base of the body on the varix.
Shell color is pale fleshy cream, with two diffuse transverse brown bands: at the shoulder margin and the base of the body. The aperture is white.
