Description The shell is small to medium sized, solid, stocky to elongate-fusiform. The radula is uniserial with tricuspid teeth. The protoconchs are smooth. They can be large and globose with a short calcarella or small and regularly coiled. The teleoconch shows axial ribs, exceptionally with true shoulder nodules.
The solid shell is ovately fusiform. The spire is acuminate. The whorls are longitudinally ribbed. The aperture is ovate. The columella shows numerous transverse plaits. The outer lip is simple and acute.Adams, H. & Adams, A. (1853-1858). The genera of Recent Mollusca; arranged according to their organization. London, van Voorst.
