==Description== The length of the shell varies between 12&nbsp;mm and 20&nbsp;mm.

The turreted shell is easily recognized by its ribs which, like the transverse striations, are elevated and somewhat lamellous. The color is either black or brown, mixed with white or entirely pink. The seven [[Whorl (mollusc)|whorl]]s are convex. The outer [[Lip (gastropod)|lip]] is wrinkled. The transverse striations extend as far as the [[Columella (gastropod)|columella]]. The [[siphonal canal]] is short and straight.<ref>[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/12944 Payraudeau B. C. (1826).
