Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. N. Cate 1973Shell elongate, narrow, strong; dorsum spirally striate over terminals, with central area mostly smooth, unlined and glossy; terminals vary in length, usually long, lanceolate to the rear, with front terminal processes broader at the base, shorter in length, body whorl and terminal beaks usually in a straight line, recurving only slightly in some shells from, the central Philippines; base short, very narrow, glossy, without either front terminal ridge or rear funicular swelling; central aperture of medium breadth, becoming acutely broader in front because of angular constriction of outer lip; terminal beak canals open, very narrow; outer lip roundly thickened from tip to tip, cord-like and barely angled above at shoulder; columella-fossula area evenly smooth; shell color varies from beige-white to dull rosyred, usually with a dull grey band traversing dorsum centrally; shell interior reflects the exterior color, with terminal canals usually orange within; outer lip edge off-white.
