The columellar margin contains a callus. The colour of the shell is a pale carnation or flesh-colour in hue. Inside the aperture there is a deeper shade of the same colour, painted with fillets spirally or ochre-brown beaded with white.[4]

This marine species occurs off Mozambique and South Africa. It has also been reported in the Gulf of Oman.[5] and off Sri Lanka.[6]
