L. Dolin and P. Lozouet 2004La coquille, solide, de taille moyenne, est piriforme, a profil regulierement ampoule. La spire est legerement saillante. l:ouverture est rectiligne, peu arquee en son tiers adapical. Le canal siphonal est profond, formam un pontet imperceptiblement rehausse par rapport a la sole vemrale, regulierement convexe. I: angulation est abrupte. Les extremites abapicales des levres interne et externe forment des excroissances calleuses, legerement spatulees. Le pli terminal, horizontal, horde longitudinalement le canal ; il se dedouble en une longue et forte ride transverse. La lame interne qui le prolonge est coune mais puissante, terminee en goutte d' eau. La fossula, concave, en aileron, est fortement denticulee, ainsi que I' aire columellaire. La levre interne forme avec !' aire columellaire un angle droit ou naissent 19 denticules reguliers clans leur puissance et leur espacement. Le canal exhalant est ouvert, quoique bien marque. La levre externe, epaisse, peu affaissee adaxialement en son quart anterieur, porte 20 denticules lamelleux, courts, regulierement espaces.
