==Description== The shell is turreted-conic, perforate, and green, adorned with undulating white bands interspersed with angular buff-colored lines. The whorls are flat and slightly overlapping (subimbricating), featuring a slightly prominent, articulated margin. They are further ornamented with subdistant, impressed transverse lines and fine longitudinal striations.

The body whorl is angulate, with a slightly convex base sculptured by articulated cinguli in buff tones. The aperture is subquadrate and green on the inside. The columella is straight and slightly truncated at the base.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Tryon |first1=G.W. |title=Manual of conchology, structural and systematic : with illustrations of the species Ser.1,v.11 |date=1879 |publisher=Published by the Author, Academy of Natural Sciences |location=Philadelphia |page= |pages=364 |url=https://archive.org/details/manualofconcholo111tryo/page/n7/mode/2up |access-date=31 December 2024}} {{source-attribution}}</ref>
