Description
The length of the shell attains 30 mm.
The shell has a fusiform shape. It is slightly translucent but still solid. The spire has an elongated conical shape. The protoconch is papillar, white and shining. The shell contains 9 whorls. They are slightly impressed towards the suture. They are at first smooth but then become obliquely costulate and rugose. The narrow aperture has an elongated oval shape with on top a large and deep sinus. The siphonal canal is very short and wide open. The columella is slightly arcuate and is thickened at its base.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Tierra del Fuego.

gollark: That's quite bad. Do NOT buy it for that.
gollark: Well, it hasn't obtained any new articles since December last year, and there have been more legal issues than usual.

gollark: I have recently changed my editor's font. Muahahaha.
