The shell is longitudinally crossed by bold, sinuous ribs, interstices between the ribs latticed with conspicuous striae. The color of the shell is white, the striae are pale brown. The white shell has a broad brown band above the aperture, reappearing on the spire, and another one at the base of the body whorl. The aperture is narrow. The outer lip runs almost parallel to the columella.
