Protoconch-I of about 0.5 whorls, sculptured with pustules over the entire surface. Protoconch-II of about 1 whorl, sculptured at first only with pustules, then with 2 spiral keels, a series of subsutural threads and a series of similar threads over each keel; the threads tend to fuse and give rise to sinuous collabral riblets. They closely resemble juveniles of either  Hirtomurexcf. isshikiensisor  Hirtomurexsp. B, yet both those species have a multispiral protoconch. I have been unable to connect these few juvenile shells to adults from this area. More material is needed.
