The size of an adult shell varies between 13 mm and 20 mm. The whorls are shortly and obliquely ribbed. The ribs are obsolete on the back of the last whorl, depressed below the sutures. The color of the shell is yellowish brown, with a deep reddish chestnut spot on the back of the body whorl. The siphonal canal is rather long compared to the other species in this genus.[3]

This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off Central America and Ecuador.
