Shell up to 21 mm in length with 1.5 protoconch whorls and up to 5 teleoconch whorls. Protoconch small, microsculpture unknown. Whorls rounded. Axial sculpture of last teleoconch whorl consisting of 4 or 5 narrow or broad, low, smooth, weak varices or ribs. Spiral sculpture of moderately high, rounded, smooth primary cords with a secondary cord and occasionally with threads between each pair of primary cords. Aperture large, ovate. Outer lip smooth, with 0 weak denticles within. Columellar lip narrow, smooth, adherent. Siphonal canal short, sealed. Pale or dark brown. Interior of aperture brown, outer apertural and columellar lips pale brown or white.

This is the species that I previously identified (in litt.) as O. personata Settepassi, 1977. However, after having examined the holotype of O. ingloria , there was little doubt about its true identity. The illustration of O. personata in Settepassi (1977) resembles O. ingloria but the small spines on the outer apertural lip, the seemingly different spiral sculpture, and the localities given by Settepassi (Barbaria and Palermo), have led me to reconsider my conclusions and finally to include O. personata as a synonym of O. hispidula (Pallary, 1904). O. personata is considered a synonym of Muricopsis cristatus (Brocchi, 1814) in Sabelli et al (1990: 190), however, the sealed siphonal canal visible on the illustration of Settepassi, is typical for Ocinebrina. (). ingloria is apparently rare. It was illustrated by Sabelli & Spada (1978a: fig. 2c) as a synonym of O. edwardsi.

Currently known with certainty only from Chioggia and from the Gulf of Trieste (Adriatic Sea, Italy) on rocks
