Description
The size of an adult shell varies between Шаблон:Convert.
(Translation of the original French description) The slightly shiny shell is solid and has an elongated fusiform shape. The turreted spire is composed of 9 very convex whorls, subcarinated on their extremes. They are separated by a very marked oblique suture, covered with sigmoid growth lines, fine decurrent striae and large, wide and nodular oblique longitudinal folds, numbering 6 on each of the last two whorls. The body whorl measures half of the total height of the shell. It finishes in a long, narrow and slightly twisted siphonal canal. The elongated aperture is angular at the top. The columella is sinuated at the top, then a little oblique. The simple outer lip is sharp. The color of the aperture is a dirty, uniform white, but is slightly tinged with red on the end of the siphonal canal. The ground color of the shell is a white uniform ivory.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean between Gabon and Angola.
