Description
A small, ornate marine gastropod shell, characterized by its prominent, frilly axial varices and intricate spiral sculpture. The shell exhibits a somewhat elongated, fusiform shape with a moderately high spire and a short siphonal canal. Its surface is rough due to the lamellar growth lines and ribs, and the aperture is ovate with a denticulate outer lip.
