(Original description) The species differs slightly from Zebinella decussata (Montagu, 1803), being proportionately wider, with the whorls flatter, the sculpture less sharply defined and tending to become obsolete. The shell is also somewhat larger. [2]

Fossils of this species were found in Tertiary strata in Florida, USA.
