Description
[edit]The size of an adult shell varies between 20 mm and 60 mm. The shell is yellowish white or brownish, usually interruptedly broad-banded above and below the middle of the body whorl. The spire is turreted. The whorls are covered with a sutural cord and have a smooth, slightly concave shoulder The periphery is nodulous with the terminations of oblique, longitudinal ribs, which are crossed by strong revolving lines. The labium has a very strong projecting superior callus. The outer lip is winged, with a second small sinus indicated towards the base. The siphonal canal is short.[3]
