DESCRIPTION: Shell elongate, fusiform, with prominently shouldered whorls. Keel bearing short, posteriorly directed keel spikes. Posterior whorl slope flat bearing fine spiral threads. Anterior whorl slope of spire bearing numerous fine spiral threads and a prominent nodulose lira, the nodules of which are formed by short axial costae coincident with each keel spike. On the body whorl the anterior carina is present as well as numerous finer lirae. Aperture pyriform, inner lip covered with a thin glaze. Canal straight. DIMENSIONS: L 19, W 5.

AS yet the holotype is the only specimen of this species known and, as it was not examined, and is a juvenile, the above description and generic allocation should be treated with caution. The development of the cord anterior to the keel suggests Serratifusus clydoniatus sp. nov. but that species has no keel spikes. The absence of the characteristic Columbarium lamina of the inner lip is typical for Coluzea.
