This species is also mentioned as Clavus laetus.
The size of an adult shell varies between 8 mm and 20 mm.
The smooth shell is polished. The whorls show a strongly tuberculated shoulder. The body whorl shows a second inferior row of small, sometimes obsolete tubercles. The shell is white, banded with brown, and the band is often more or less interrupted.
