The whorls are short and are characterized by oblique ribs that become obsolete on the back of the body whorl and are depressed below the sutures. The shell's color is a yellowish brown, accented by a deep reddish chestnut spot on the back of the body whorl. Additionally, the siphonal canal is relatively long compared to other species in this genus. [3]
