The shell’s base color is white, marked with longitudinal cloudy or net-like patterns in shades of chestnut or dark brown, plus an irregular central white band. The aperture is tinted chocolate brown, and has a white band running across its middle. This species is endemic to Australia, where it is found off the coasts of New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia.
