The ovate, conical shell is very pointed at its summit. It is pale red, often ornamented, with longitudinal waved and distant bands. Sometimes elongated spots appear upon the whorls of the spire, which are eight or nine in number; the lowest are convex. The base of the shell is marked with very fine, and very approximate striae.
