Description:
The spire whorls are adorned with a sculptural pattern consisting of three evenly spaced beaded cords. These beads are prominent and arranged in a line along the axis, forming ribs. On the body whorl, there is a noticeable, rounded varix positioned opposite to the outer lip. The aperture is relatively small, ovate in shape, and features a short, somewhat restricted siphonal canal. It is located across from a well-defined anal canal, which is marked by a denticle on the columella. The anterior canal is notch-like and is bordered by a parietal columellar plait. In terms of coloration, it varies but typically has a whitish base color with dark beads or a series of dark spots on the cords. Occasionally, you may observe dark spiral lines, bands, or spaces between the cords.
