The body whorl is inflated, and larger than all the others united. The linear suture is very fine. The aperture is subrounded, of violet color and within are perceived the external colored lines. The outer is lip simple, thin and sharp. Its edge is expanded and marked with brown lines. The columella is smooth and arcuated.[3]
