Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 11 mm and 25 mm. The color of the shell is chocolate-brown, encircled by narrow, lighter-colored keels The second keel, which is somewhat stronger than the others, is often broken up into small tubercles. The interior of the aperture is chocolate-colored. The siphonal canal is short. It is distinguished from Turridrupa cincta (Lamarck, 1822) by its narrower form, a longer spire, sharper ridges and a darker color.[3]
The sinus apex is situated at end of the mid-shoulder cord. The cords are smooth with a buff color on dark brown ground. [4]
