Shell elongate, slender; spire elevated; apex acute; whorls eight or nine, slightly angulated 

 a little posterior to middle, the posterior portion being slightly concave, and the anterior portion 

 slightly convex; ornamentation consists of nine to eleven rounded, spiral ridges, and numerous 

 prominent transverse ridges following the lines of growth, which are coiivexly angulated on the 

 angle of whorl; tiie ornamentation is more prominent on the lower portion of the whorls; suture 

 impres.sed, distinct; aperture elliptical; outer lip thin, arcuate anteriorly; posterior sinus shallow; 

 anterior sinus r.ither long; inner lip and inner portion of columella incrusted; columella slightly

Distiiii^ni.shable from /). iicidrillntd by longer canal, angulation of whorls, and

 deflection and angulation of whorl, except body-whorl, which is more evenly convex 

 than in the latter.
