Description
The size of the shell varies between 18 mm and 32 mm.The shell exhibits a somewhat abbreviately conical shape and is relatively solid. The surface is smooth, although striated at the base, and the spire displays a somewhat flatly convex profile with striate grooves. The shell exhibits a white coloration, densely encircled by fine, thread-like burnt-brown lines. Occasional snow-white spots interrupt this pattern. The spire is characterized by brown spots along the edge of the body whorl.
