Shell: thin and strong, low spire, breadth more than double the height, whorls are only slightly convex, almost flat, sutures deeply incised; flat base has a fairly wide and deep umbilicus surrounded by a nodular swelling; thin aperture lip is nearly square in shape; sculpture of the body whorl consists of a broad and slightly raised band running below the suture and two narrower and more raised bands at the periphery, with another three on the basal side; all bands are granular as they intersect with the growth lines, which are fairly incised; coloration is light brown on either side of white stripes, following the bands of the sculpture; operculum is horny, dark brown, slightly spiral, roughly central nucleus and with a tubercle on the inner surface. Body: radula is ptenoglossan, without a rachidial tooth and with fourteen pairs of lateral teeth.
