Shell elongately-fusiform, with long, slender spire and short canal, strong, yellowish-grey. 



Whorls 11. of which about 3 form a convexly-whorled nucleus, with the common criss-cross

a narrov vation. Sculpture consisting of rounded ribs, on a little more than \ following

penultimate whorl, of which one borders the suture, another the excavation, about 30 on last
