Shell elongately fusiform turretted, spire longer than the 

 aperture, zoned with broad bands of brown or chestnut which 

 are elegantly margined with narrow white lines, whorls 7, 

 angular above and crowned with small ribs, spirally striate 

 throughout, and with the white lines often lirate, nearly 

 smooth above the angle, but marked with the curved lines 

 of growth of the sinus ; aperture broad, sinus broad and 

 deep ; labrum thin, lip exactly defined and enamelled, canal 

 very short and open. 



This Brillia is distinguished from the many described 

 Australian species by its bands of color, and short coronate 

 ribs. The color bands are not very conspicuous, even though 

 narrowly margined with white.
