Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 6.5 cm SHL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 349); common length : 5.0 cm SHL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 349)
Shelly heavy, with 9 to 10 whorls. Numerous spiral and axial grooves cross each other, forming squarish nodules on the shell surface. Sutures with deep channel. Whorls are flat sided. Outer lip is flared in adults, transforming the spihonal canal into a short tube. Columella is smooth, and thicker at the base. Shell is dark brown or green, often with yellowish blotches. Operculum is dark brown and horny.
Length based on occurrence record; to be replaced with better reference. Combination depth range: min from ecology, max from literature. Found on mud flats in estuaries and mangrove areas, often on stems and roots of trees (Ref. 128042), and sandy shores (Ref. 125338).
