Appearance

The fusiform shell consists of ten whorls. The angular whorls are crossed by delicate, spiral striae and longitudinal obtuse ribs. The whorls are tuberculated in the middle, the tubercles developing from more or less indistinct oblique folds or ribs, everywhere closely encircled by striae. The dark fulvescent shell shows a banded white zone that passes over the nodules upon the angle in the center of each whorl. The sinus is rather large.
