Height 101 mm, Width 49 mm

Shell large, thin, solid, broadly-fusiform or conic, consists of 8.5-8.75 flattened whorls, divided by a pressed sutura. The body whorl occupies about 2/3 of the shell height. Spiral sculpture consists of 2-4 nearly obsolete flattened cords between the base and shoulder with wider interspaces; 9-10 uniform ribs on the base of the body whorl and very minute scratchy spiral siriation. Axial sculpture consists of distinct growth lines. Aperture is wide, rounded, white. Outer lip is thin, fragile, usually not turned outside. Inner lip is covered with thin white callus. Siphon is moderately short, recurved. Periostracum is thick, peeling, pellicled, sandy-yellow, yellowish-green or greenish-gray, form thin raised axial lamellae. Color of shell is white, yellowish or light-brown. Operculum is large, rounded-oval, moderately thin, brown.
[Egorov, 1994]

Shell large, solid, livid whitish, with a long acute spire, the apex defective, but the shell had more than six whorls, separated by a very narrow deep suture and covered by a very thin pale olivaceous periostracum; whorls well-rounded, with four or five nearly obsolete flattish spiral ridges between the base and the shoulder, with wider interspaces, the base delimited by a stronger cord, in front of which are eight or ten similar flattish spirals more closely set. There is also a very minute scratchy spiral striation; axial sculpture only of rather rude incremental lines; aperture short and wide, the outer lip thin, not expanded, the body erased, the pillar short, white, twisted, the axis not quite pervious, and with a feeble fasciole. Height of five whorls, 98; of last whorl, 66; of aperture and short wide canal, 51; diameter, 52 mm. (Dall.)
