Olango Island, Philippines. This species has both a uniformly white toned columella and rather slender fusiform to ovate appearance. The shell is medium sized, solid, smooth and relatively broad. Larger shells tend to be more slender. The body whorl has axially aligned knobs on the shoulder. The early whorls have mostly white varices, and a blueish black protoconch. The white columella is predominantly white, and is always smooth in the mid part; the posterior has ca. 10 lirae; and the anterior part 5-6 lirae. Inside labrum is yellowish-orange, with mostly dark coloured lirae entering deep in the aperture, the last 3-4 mm towards the rim has a pure white colour. Outside colour is variable with brown, green, cream, tan, yellow, orange, lilac, purple, etc., uniformly or mottled. The end of the anterior canal is almost always tipped with black within and on the outside. The body whorl is rounded, earlier whorls have a sharp angled shoulder diminishing in acuteness with growth. The penultimate whorls have 12-14 axial knobs at the shoulder, which may be obsolete. The base of the shell has 10 – 12incised lines that gradually become less strong; the remainder of the body whorl covered with very thin spiral lines. The aperture is elongated with a small but sharp posterior canal just ending under the shoulder. The labrum is rather straight and not significantly thickened.
