Description
(Original description in Latin) The shell is awl‑shaped and club‑like, without an umbilicus. It is a dull, dirty white in colour. Its entire surface is marked by transverse striae. It consists of about twelve whorls, which are flattened; the body whorl is only very slightly angled at the periphery.
The aperture is acuminate‑ovate, tapering to a point. The inner lip is arched and thickened, while the outer lip is slightly produced in its middle portion.[2]
