Key Identification Features
- The ribs are decorated with regularly spaced alternating white and red spots, which are often orange instead, creating a distinctive attractive pattern.
- The pointed spire is made up of six whorls: the upper whorls are slightly convex, only minimally developed, and feature three or four clearly visible transverse striae marked with brown blotches.
- The shell’s aperture is distinctly round and wide.
- The outer surface of the shell is a uniform reddish fawn color; the ribs are patterned with wide spots or irregular brown and white blotches that are quite distinct.
