The shell in this genus, as typified by its mono-type, is of moderate size and roughly fusiform.
The spire is high, the suture impressed. The body whorl is moderately large; the aperture is large and broadly open. The siphonal canal is moderately long and slender. The body whorl bears five thin, erect, fluted, lamella-like varices. Spiral cords, although sub-obsolete, give rise to long, straight, open spines where they cross the varices, those at the shoulder margin the longest and stoutest. Shell color is yellow-white, overlaid with a mod-erately thick layer of simple white intritacalx.

Shell from 10 lo 28 mm in length at maturity. Average length of 14-17 mm. Last teleoconch whorl with 5-8 lamellate varices, produced into long, acute, flattened, open shoulder spines. Aperture broad, roundly-ovate. Columellar lip smooth, entirely adherent. Siphonal canal mod-erately long, broad, smooth, broadly open.
