« Shell […] cirto-pupoid, slender. Protoconch multispiral […] with traces of diagonally cancellate sculpture. Teleoconch of 6–8 whorls, evenly convex (more convex in juveniles). Suture fine and undulate. Axial sculpture of […] sligthly opisthocline, non-equidistant ribs, and interspaces broader than the ribs (with interspace width varying with shell size). Axial sculpture evident, but becoming obsolescent in largest shells. […] Spiral sculpture on the last whorl of 7–10 cordlets, thinner than axial ribs. Cancellations squared in juveniles, becoming rectangular in adults. Secondary cordlets appearing occasionally and thereafter becoming as strong as the others. Subsutural ramp narrow, devoid of evident sculpture. » – Pusateri & al.: “A revision of the Mediterranean Raphitomidae, 3”, Biodiversity Journal 2016, 7, p.105.

« Columella simple, slightly sinuous anteriorly, gently angled posteriorly. Outer lip thickened and crenulated externally, with 11–13 strong inner denticles, the most posterior smaller, delimiting the wide and short anal sinus, the most anterior more robust and delimiting the funnel-like siphonal canal. Siphonal fasciole of 6 nodulose cordlets, neatly spaced from the lasts piral cordlet. Colour uniformly ligth chestnut-brown in the background, with darker blotches, more evident in larger shells (>20 mm), and same darker colour bordering the siphonal fasciole and inside the aperture. Violet hue on the first 3–4 whorls of particularly fresh specimens. Comma-shaped white spots on the subsutural ramp, arrow-like white spots inside some cancellation interspaces. » – Ibid.
