Description The height of the white shell varies between 3 mm and 6 mm. It contains 3-4 whorls that increase rapidly in size. They are very convex and spirally striate. They contain thin, low, longitudinal, not synchronized varices; this makes it unusual. The aperture is produced below.Tryon (1887), Manual of Conchology IX – Solariidae (by William B. Marshall), Ianthinidae, Trichotropidae, Scalariidae, Cerithiidae, Rissoidae, Littorinidae
