Shell of moderate size, 11-15 mm., elongately ovate, of cytharid facies, with a short broad¬ly conical spire, and a long ovate body-whorl, slowly tapered to a short spout-like, unnotched anterior canal. Protoconch small, of three rounded whorls, two smooth but the third with weak axial riblets. Adult sculpture of numerous rather narrow axials, extending from suture to suture on the spire-whorls but becoming subobsolete over the body-whorl. The whole surface is incised with linear grooves, strongest encircling the anterior end. Aperture very long and narrow, with a rather deeply channelled subsutural sinus, somewhat constricted above by a thickening of the parietal callus. Outer lip thin edged, but heavily variced behind; no apertural processes. Colour uniformly buff to light brownish.

The heavily variced outer lip, definite posterior sinus and general facies of the shell suggest alliance with Eucithara rather than with Guraleus

Range — Recent, New South Wales and Tasmania to South Australia.
