==Description==
The size of the shell varies between 15&nbsp;mm and 40&nbsp;mm.

The thick shell is ovate, oblong and cylindrical. It shows slightly impressed, transverse striae, traversed by oblong, brown spots, and often intermixed with other reddish spots, especially upon the [whorl](/source/Whorl_(mollusc))s. A narrow, white band, surrounds towards the middle, the lowest whorl. The conical [spire](/source/Spire_(mollusc)) is pointed. The oblong [aperture](/source/Aperture_(mollusc)) is narrowed, a little compressed towards its upper third, and dilated at its lower part. Two folds upon the [columella](/source/Columella_(gastropod)), are separated by quite a deep, semicircular groove, the larger, two-lobed.<ref name="Kiener">[https://archive.org/details/generalspeciesic00kien Kiener (1840).
