There are about four striae upon the concave space above 
the angle of each whorl ; the sides of the whorls are slightly 
convex. On some specimens there are still visible many 
narrow bands of colour with equal white spaces between 
them. The length of the spire is variable, and thus this 
shell approaches to the next species.
